• Description:

  This genuine Ford exhaust flange gasket seals the exhaust pipe to the manifold or downpipe joint on the 2.0L, 2.3L, and 2.5L four-cylinder engines used in the Focus, Escape, Fusion, Milan, Mariner, Lincoln MKZ, and Zephyr built from 2004 to 2012. It provides a heat-resistant, leak-free seal at the flanged connection so exhaust gases stay contained, which preserves quiet operation, correct sensor readings, and proper exhaust flow. Exhaust gaskets degrade with repeated heat cycling and can leak, causing a ticking or hissing noise and potential exhaust odor, so replacing this gasket whenever the joint is separated is good practice. As original equipment it matches the factory flange shape, bolt pattern, and material, so it seats correctly without trimming. When installing, clean both flange faces, fit the new gasket, and tighten the flange fasteners evenly to the factory specification. Inspect the flange studs or bolts for corrosion and replace them if they are damaged so the joint clamps evenly.
