I called the local Ford dealer and gave them my VIN and asked which thickness I should get. He read from a service bulletin that I should use a 3mm unless the manifold had been replaced at one time in which case I should use a 4mm. Not sure if I should trust this info?
Incidently they wanted $65.54 for the gasket set which was a special order. I checked
www.parts.com (supposedly "genuine Ford parts") and they want $30.35 + 7.95 s/h). I just can't figure out which of their gaskets are 3mm and which are 4mm. They had gaskets for 96-98 and 95-00 - anyone have any idea what the thicknesses might be.(parts.com hasn't responded to my email and it looks unlikely that they will). If I can't figure it out I could order both and return the wrong one.
