Product Overview: This complete cylinder head assembly is engineered for the Ford 3.2-litre diesel engine in the SAFA, SAFB, SA2R, SA2S, SA2W and P5AT family, the robust powerplants fitted to the Ford Ranger and Mazda BT-50. It is supplied fully assembled with valves, guides and seats installed and is machined to original equipment tolerances, offering a dependable replacement for a cracked, warped or valve-damaged original cylinder head.
Key Features: The casting is produced from high-strength aluminium alloy and CNC-machined for accurate deck flatness, correct valve seat concentricity and consistent combustion chamber volume. Valve guides and seats are pre-installed and honed for even sealing and balanced compression, and the cam carrier surfaces are finished for correct bearing clearance in the 20-valve diesel layout. Injector bores and glow plug threads are precisely machined for correct common-rail fitment, while reinforced casting around the valve bridge and fire deck improves durability under turbo-diesel cylinder pressures.
Vehicle Compatibility: This head fits Ford Transit EY (1995-2000), Transit Connect C7 (2009-2013), Transit Connect CHC (2014-2023), Transit TTH (2015-2023) and Thunderbird SR (2002-2005) references, and is primarily intended for Ford Ranger and Mazda BT-50 3.2 TDI applications that use the listed engine codes. Always confirm the engine code and OE reference before ordering.
Specifications: Engine code SAFA / SAFB / SA2R / SA2S / SA2W / P5AT; displacement 3.2 litres; inline five-cylinder turbo-diesel; 20-valve; material high-strength aluminium alloy; standard size; new condition; complete assembly; 12-month warranty; purpose replacement and repair.
OEM / Reference Numbers: FB306C032AB, BK3Q-6090-BC, BK3Q-6K537-BD, BK3Q-6049-BD, BK3Z-6049-A and BK3Z6049A. Cross-reference these numbers with the casting marks on the original head to confirm the correct variant.
Applications: Suitable for pickups, vans, light commercial vehicles and utility fleets, covering everyday repairs, engine rebuilds, workshop overhauls and fleet maintenance where a durable factory-specification diesel head is required.
Benefits / Replacement Information: Installing this assembly restores compression, corrects coolant and combustion leakage caused by cracking or distortion, and avoids the expense and delay of re-machining the original casting. A complete unit ensures factory-matched valve and seat geometry for dependable sealing.
Installation or Fitment Notes: Installation should be carried out by a qualified technician. Verify block deck flatness, fit a new head gasket and new head bolts where specified, and torque in the correct sequence to the manufacturer's specification. Check valve clearances and injection timing after assembly, then pressure test and bleed the cooling system before returning the vehicle to service.
