If you all are super freaked out, then just go with a dedicated aftermarket head gasket. I am no back yard mechanic btw. I ran a shop, 4 ASE's and know what I am doing. No need to toot my horn though. Just sharing information. Yes...I recommend replacing the "head gasket" and doing "head bolts"...

From the owner of EMS.

Looking good

Agian... you can cross reference the part numbers on any ford parts website. I am certain tbe 2019 -2020 Mustang ecoboosts are using this head gasket . 100 miles now, and no problems. I just changed the oil (5/50 Amsoil) and it is running GREAT. This head gasket was recommended and I was...

Ford Motorcraft TA-30 gasket maker applied as shown in the manual. Happy to report no leaks, with proper torque and sequence. Handy tip. I went around the edges with a q tip to even out the gasket maker after this pic. No, no.... cotton material trapped within

80 miles on it 181-186* coolant temps

Happy to report the engine is back up and running! Nice smooth idle, no more smoke or check engine lights. I am very pleased with myself I must say. Still worried every time I start it up of course. Took a few weekends taking my time and cleaning everything. I would say that this should add...

They use the same head gasket now. Cross reference the part numbers.

The Focus RS and the Mustang 2.3 share the same head gasket now.

My guess is that the head bolts stretched and lost there clamping ability. With the block being a open deck design the head gasket got scrubed from cylinder movement and the cylinder pressure started pushing through washing away the material in-between the cylinders. Head gasket failure and lspi...

Good news. Today I finally removed the head. The head gasket is definitely gone. Also, it looks like the head lifted. I see heavy indentations on the head where the bolt head sits. Not sure if the head will need or should be replaced at this time. The cylinders and pistons look good. It only...

My guess is over 400 whp and torque. The new Ford head gasket is affordable and good for up to 600 hp builds. It completely seals around the cylinder bore. See the attached image

If you have the mechanical know how I would strongly suggest removing the cylinder head and replacing the head gasket with the new revised (same as the Focus RS) G1FZ-6051-C. I would also install some CA 625+ M10 headstuds from Speed3performance as well. The job should take a weekend to...

Bigger turbo will help with exhaust flow and reversion (head lift) however stock head gasket and bolts are iffy. The stock open deck block, with upgraded rods/pistons, stock head blots, cam with upgraded valve springs RS head gasket is 500whp capable all day with proper fueling and octane. I...

I was careful too. I did the same when I installed my Mishi radiator. Filled to the line and carefully watched the level. I only use Amsoil and change every 4000k miles. Just hit 28k. The car started to start with random missfires and would throw a cylinder #3 code when driving on the freeway...

So what needs to be done to the Fusion block for it to drop into the Mustang?? No fancy mounts, plugs or any modifications???

Awesome. Keep an eye on your coolant level and be on the look out for missires. Especially after cold starts. Not sure if Ford updated the head gasket intve later years, but mine failed with Methonal pushing 400+ whp. Drops 2-3 psi after 8 hrs when pressurized. I never thought it would happen...

SOLD!

Bump. Price negotiable

Again. Just go with the Ford street kit and corresponding braces. Too easy. If you want adjustability go with the Ecoboot kit from steeda. It comes with progressive springs, camber plates, adjustable sway bars and PP1 struts/shocks. I just installed the kit on my car and it feels great! I still...
