Re: Isolator bolt grommet question
Since no one else has chimed in...
This isn't quite what you want: I used the Ford OEM parts when I did my isolator bolt project. I don't recall what I paid back then - but I see that they're quite a bit more expensive than the aftermarket parts today (I see $72 or so for the bolts alone). My '00 now has 180K miles on it, and is in daily service without further problems related to the infamous isolator bolt issue.

Re: Isolator bolt grommet question
I used the Fel-Pro (Federal Mogul) grommets when I did mine last spring. Much cheaper than buying the OEM parts with the bolt included. I just carefully cut the old grommets off with a utility knife and slipped the new ones over the flanges on the bolts. I also used the Fel-Pro MS90812 plenum gasket set. Got rid of my CEL for a lean condition on both banks.

Thanks for the feedback phil-l and dhollow2. The Fel-Pro products is what I am going try, see what happens. Vehicle has 170K on it now. I am not the original owner so I do not know if this was done before or not. When engine is cold at times it acts like it is flooding, plus I get the P0171/0174 codes with occasional P0302, today I got the P0301 code so I believe the EGR ports are a mess thanks |

Re: Isolator bolt grommet question
Let us know how it works out. When I pulled my '00 apart, I was pleased to note that the EGR ports looked to be in good shape. But that was quite a few years ago now...

Re: Isolator bolt grommet question
When I did mine years ago I went with OEM. I found a dealer that had great prices (I think it's Bowen Scarff Ford) so I went that route. The EGR ports on my '01 were fairly clean but I hosed them down with cleaner anyways. Right now my van has 153,000 miles and it runs great.

Re: Isolator bolt grommet question
Fel-Pro all the way, for me. $5 (plus shipping) for the 8 grommets on rockauto. Just take some sidecutters and snip off the old ones, slide the new ones on, and you're in business. They've been in there 4 years now and counting. Part # is ES72204

Re: Isolator bolt grommet question
Weather was finally nice enough to work outside, 50*.
The EGR ports were surprisingly clean, none plugged. Used Felpro seals and gaskets. I have driven about 50 miles and codes have not returned. |
