New Ford Ranger & Taurus 3.0L OHV Cylinder Heads (Pair) 2000–2008 W/ Head Gasket Set, Bolts, Water Pump & Timing Set

Complete Engine Restoration Kit with Premium OEM-Quality Components

Restore your engine’s mechanical integrity with this pair of all-new 3.0L OHV ‘Vulcan’ cylinder heads, specifically engineered for 1986–2008 Ford Ranger, Taurus, and Mazda B3000 applications. These fresh, high-density castings feature reinforced internal walls in high-stress cooling passages to eliminate the thermal cracking common between the valve seats in original factory units. This upgraded set is fully assembled with induction-hardened valve seats to prevent the chronic seat recession and compression loss that leads to persistent misfires in high-mileage engines. Although the gasket surfaces are pre-milled, every unit undergoes an in-house precision verification to ensure the Surface Roughness (Ra) meets the strict requirements for modern head gaskets, preventing localized hot spots. We perform final guide sizing and multi-angle valve seat cutting on our Rottler equipment to ensure perfect valvetrain geometry and a 100% airtight seal. Pressure tested to 60 PSI, this pair provides a professional-grade, ‘install-ready’ solution for long-term Vulcan platform reliability.

🛠️ In-House Machining Process

• Debris-Free Preparation: Every new casting is chemically cleaned and blown out to remove all residual machining oils, metal shavings, and manufacturing debris. This ensures your oiling system remains uncontaminated from the first start-up.

• In-House Precision Machining: Unlike “shelf-stock” heads, we perform all final machine work in-house. This includes final guide sizing and precision valve seat cutting to ensure perfect geometry and clearances before the head reaches the assembly bench.

• Pressure & Integrity Testing: To go beyond the factory standard, we pressure-test every head to 60 PSI. This verifies that the casting is free of porosity leaks or internal defects that could compromise the cooling or oiling systems.

• Dimensional Inspection: Our technicians perform a multi-point inspection of the gasket-sealing surface and bore alignment. This ensures the head is perfectly flat and meets tight OEM tolerances for a flawless fit.

• Professional Assembly & Setup: Valvetrain components are installed and verified in a clean-room environment. We check spring heights and seal seating to ensure the assembly is balanced and ready for high-performance use.

• Vacuum-Seal Verification: Every intake and exhaust port is Vacuum Tested. This guarantees a 100% airtight seal between the valves and seats, ensuring maximum compression and peak performance right out of the box.
