Boss tensioners is a good idea.

We typically recommend a new crank bolt and waterpump o-ring as well. Its usually a little more necessary for higher mileage cars but would not hurt in any situation for peace of mind.

Water pumps don't last long on these cars too

Replaced my opg’s around 5k and it seemed evident my water pump was weeping. So I replaced it then. Thought that was BS
Same, although mine had about 35k on it at the time. I don't remember ever replacing one on a car pre-100k before...

Mine lasted 29k miles. Upside is that the Ford pump isn't expensive and it's easy to swap out.

I have 8k miles on my car. So I am going to get boss tensioners and arp crank bolt. Does ford sell the water pump o ring separate?

My recommendation is use the stock crank bolt new.
