The Felpro gasket set will have everything you need. When cleaning the gasket surface be careful not to scratch the soft aluminum. A green scotchbrite pad, a roll or the blue through away hand towels from the automotive department, and a gallon of mineral spirits from Wal-Mart would be perfect for cleaning the gasket mating surface. Be careful to keep things clean and don't drop anything into the valve compartment.

I see 19 FelPro parts listed for a 1998 MERCURY MYSTIQUE GS L4-2.0L. None of them says just "Gasket Set". I'm sorry for being this way I can't help it. Thank you so much for help thus far! [Head Gasket Set Qty: 1] Head bolts not incl.; PermaDry® molded rubber valve cover gskt. incl.; Premium valve stem seals incl. 147$!!! That can't be right?
