I was thinking about picking up this kit from Rock Auto for the head gasket repair on my 2.3L. I was wondering if anyone has experience with this Fel-Pro head gasket?

Is there anything else I should replace while I'm tearing the engine apart? I need to get the Head Studs from ARP but I didn't want to go with the head gasket that is pissing the coolant holes for the water paths between the cylinders. So I figured this Fel-Pro would work best.

No direct experience but I went with the Monotune replacement. & upgraded head bolts. Happy so far.

Fel-Pro has been an industry leader for as long as I can remember. I think Cometic makes excellent gaskets as well. That is all I use on my Harleys.

My concern with the Monotune one is the missing pathways for coolant between the cylinders. It only has the one hole for the updated bloc design.

Bought the ARP bolt set. But still trying to figure if I want to do Fel-Pro or OEM. OEM from ford is crazy expensive.
