Isolator bolt grommet question

Has anyone used the Federal Mogul Grommet set ES72204 and Victor plenum gaskets.

thanks

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.

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

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...

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.

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

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.

Good news! I hope it continues to work well for you.
