Default Engine seal kit?


Is there a kit that has all of the seals that need to change in a 91 GT 302HO? I'm going to be pulling my engine this weekend and while it's out, I'll be doing some cleaning and I wanted to change all the seals...

A complete gasket kit from most any auto parts supplier would work.

+1 You're gonna be better off handpicking each gasket individually

What about the Mr. Gasket Overhaul Gasket Kit? Are they any good?

mind you I have a 94 cobra, so some of my selection will vary from yours.

Head gaskets $31.96
#9333 PT-1 x2
Valve Cover gaskets - Molded rubber with steel core $28.98
#VS 13264 T
Intake manifold gasket set $25.98
#MS 95952 (I think the regular 5.0 set is MS 95953)
Timing Cover Gasket Set (includes water pump gasket) $9.98
#TCS 45449 (may be different for a foxbody)
Oil Pan Gasket $28.88
#OS 34508 R (molded ruber with steel core)

The only other thing you need is a rear main seal. my block already has one installed, so i didnt need another

Hey Adder, I'm not saying this to start an arguement, so don't take it the wrong way, OK? But I think theFel Pro kit isgood. I used that kit when I restored my black Capri (in sig. below) That was7 years ago and not one leak to this day... not even a small one anywhere. I have a shoe box full of time slips from beating the snot out of the car, so it gets used really hard. Aside from head gaskets, I believe it's not so much the gasket you chose, but how well you prep the surfaces that the gasket goes on that keeps it from leaking. Knowing where/how/what type/how much sealer with gaskets is very important too. You can recommend buying a bunch of different higher quality gaskets to the original poster, but I think it will cost more for no reason. My Capri is proof enough for me that the Fel pro kit will do just fine... get a good set of head gaskets and header gaskets and all the other stuff that comes in the kit is very reliable.
