Cylinder Head Gasket Replacement On
Ford (Mercury) 7.0L (428 CID)
V-8 Police Interceptor Engine
When replacing a cylinder head gasket on a 1966-69 Ford (Mercury) 7.0L (428 CID) V-8 Police Interceptor engine, use a steel head gasket. Composition type gaskets are not recommended.
It has been found that steel gaskets reduce the possibility of a cylinder head cracking in the area of the bolt holes in these engines.
It is essential that head and block surfaces be clean and checked for flatness prior to gasket replacement. An even coat of head gasket sealer should be applied to both top and bottom gasket surfaces. Be sure to check the word front stamped on the gasket and install accordingly. Torque to specifications according to proper sequence.
