Hey - what the #*@%

[Jersey Fred]

Has anyone priced the 'Upper Complete Gasket Set' (E9DZ-6079-D) from FordPartsNetwork.com lately?? It went from $128 to $285 in the last six months!!

I tried to order the Fel-Pro gasket set from AutoZone and they are saying that they dont carry it anymore.

Any suggestions on where to get the plug well seals & valve cover gaskets for a reasonable price?

I just picked up a set from Kragen. It was the FelPro set and it cost me roughly 90 bucks. This was only 2-3 weeks ago. It did include the Spark Plug Well Seals.

Just went to their website and found the Fel-Pro set for $88.79 + shipping. I really didn't feel like shelling out $285 for the gaskets!

Thanks Anthony.

Autozone - Fel-Pro Valve Cover Gasket set #VS50378R (incl. plug well seals) - $71.99

Autozone - Fel-Pro Intake manifold gasket set #MS94831 (includes intake runner to head metal gaskets, all upper intake manifold gaskets exc. TB) - $45.99

Autozone - GP / Sorensen TB Gasket set - $4.99

Or, like Rob mentioned, use the ATX Upper Gasket Set from Josh at SHO Nut for the $150 range. If you need the 3.0L head gaskets, let Josh know & he'll try to match you up witih someone who bought the MTX gasket set but didn't need the head gaskets.

Go to AutoZone.com's site and look up the part for a 1991 SHO:

Home > Shopping > External Engine > Valve Cover Gasket

FELPRO RUBBER GASKET, VS50378R, $71.99

Hi,

I have a 1993 SHO w/ 3.2L Auto.

The guy at Autozone said the VS50378R part # is for the 3.0L not the 3.2L

Will the same kit fit either???
If not what part # do I need?????

Thanx,
ROB

Yeah, it fits both fine.

There are a few cross referencing problems with the AutoZone data base. That Fel-Pro gasket set is good for all Gen I&II SHO's.

 

[ROB L]

THANX Alot guys


I will order them today.
Anything else I will need to finish the job???
Anything else I should do while in there???

Also could a bad set of valve cover gaskets be causing smoke to come from the back of the firewall area??

........and can you purchase the plug well gaskets separately?

Well, you can, but for more than the cost of the complete Fel-Pro set. Why bother?

I used to work at autozone, DO NOT trust those computers when looking for sho parts, get the part number from us on shoforum first. They had push rods for my 91 for christ sake.
