APEX Automobile Parts Inc Engine Gasket Set P/N:AFS1039
Take on an engine overhaul or reseal with the APEX Automobile Parts Inc Gasket Set AFS4051, supplied as a full set. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications with the V6-2.5L engine: the 1995-2000 Ford Contour, the 1995-2000 Mercury Mystique, the 1999-2000 Mercury Cougar, and the 2000 Mazda MPV.
A gasket set is typically installed during an engine rebuild or major repair, when sealed joints are separated and new gaskets are called for at reassembly. Before assembly, compare the pieces in the set with the service information for your engine. Consult that same information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused, since some engine bolts are single-use.
Signs that engine gaskets may need replacing include oil or coolant seepage at sealed joints. Diagnose the source of any leak before you begin the repair.

It is listed for the 1995-2000 Ford Contour, 1995-2000 Mercury Mystique, 1999-2000 Mercury Cougar, and 2000 Mazda MPV, all with the V6-2.5L engine.
When is an engine gasket set usually installed?
Most often it goes in during an engine rebuild or major repair, when sealed joints are separated and new gaskets are needed for reassembly.
How many sets does my engine need?
The listed applications call for one set per engine.
What are signs the engine gaskets may need replacing?
Oil or coolant seepage at sealed joints can point to a gasket problem. Diagnose the leak's source first, because other parts can cause similar symptoms.
Can I reuse the original engine bolts?
Check the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused. Some engine bolts are torque-to-yield and meant for a single use.
