Victor Reinz 14-10061-01 Engine Cylinder Head Bolt Set

Victor Reinz Cylinder Head Bolt Set

Victor Reinz 14-10061-01 is an engine cylinder head bolt set for late-model Ford, Mazda, and Mercury applications that use torque-to-yield head bolts. When servicing a cylinder head, replacing these fasteners is the correct approach for maintaining proper clamping force and head gasket sealing.

Built from steel with a 10 mm thread diameter, 128 mm length, and 13 mm bolt head size, this set is specified for engines that require precise head bolt replacement during reassembly. It is a direct-fit option for Ford Ranger, Ford Taurus, Ford Windstar, Mazda B3000, and Mercury Sable applications listed below.

Key Features

• Brand: Victor Reinz
• Engine cylinder head bolt set for torque-to-yield applications
• Steel construction for engine fastener service

Detailed Description

Victor Reinz 14-10061-01 is engineered for cylinder head installation on engines that use TTY head bolts, where reusing the original fasteners is not recommended because they are permanently stretched during tightening. This makes the part especially relevant for head gasket service on Ford Ranger, Ford Taurus, Ford Windstar, Mazda B3000, and Mercury Sable models covered by the fitment data. The bolt dimensions and steel construction support accurate reassembly when the cylinder head has been removed for repair.

This part cross-references MAHLE GS33359 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Head gasket sealing issues after cylinder head removal
• Improper clamping force from reused torque-to-yield bolts
• Fastener stretch concerns during engine rebuild or repair
• Loss of cylinder head retention after overheating or gasket failure service
• Incorrect replacement hardware during Ford Ranger, Ford Taurus, Ford Windstar, Mazda B3000, or Mercury Sable head work

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace torque-to-yield head bolts whenever the cylinder head is removed and follow the engine manufacturer’s tightening sequence and torque-angle procedure. Verify thread diameter, length, and bolt head size before installation, and inspect the cylinder head and block surfaces for flatness and cleanliness before final assembly. For fitment confirmation, match the vehicle year and engine application to the listing details for Ford Ranger, Mazda B3000, Ford Taurus, Mercury Sable, and Ford Windstar.

Quality Assurance

Victor Reinz is a recognized engine sealing and gasket brand, and this fastener set is built to meet the dimensional requirements called out for the listed applications. Part number 14-10061-01 is intended for service where new head bolts are required to restore proper cylinder head clamping.
