• Description:

  This genuine Ford engine timing cover gasket (part number L1MZ-6020-A) fits 20-26 Ford Explorer, Lincoln Aviator, and Ford Police Interceptor Utility models powered by the 3.0 liter EcoBoost V6 engine. It seals the joint between the front timing cover and the cylinder block on the 3.0L twin-turbo Nano engine family used across the U625 platform vehicles, including standard 3.0L gas, high-output 3.0L gas, and the Aviator Grand Touring 3.0L plug-in hybrid variants. The gasket is engineered to maintain a positive oil seal at the front of the block under repeated thermal cycling, long-duration high-load operation, and the heat conducted from the integrated exhaust manifold turbochargers used on this engine. The 3.0L Nano front cover encloses the timing chain drive for the wet belt oil pump and serves as a structural mount for the front engine accessories, so a leak at this gasket joint will typically show as oil seepage at the lower front of the engine or as oil on the front engine cradle. This gasket is a single use item once it has been compressed; any front cover removal for timing service, oil pump replacement, or front main seal service requires a new gasket. Always clean both mating surfaces thoroughly before installation, follow the published torque sequence and torque specification for the front cover bolts, and verify the front crankshaft seal alignment after the cover is reinstalled. non-OEM front cover gaskets for this engine family frequently develop seepage at the lower oil pan corner due to incorrect cross-section thickness; the genuine Ford gasket is dimensioned for the as-built tolerance of the cylinder block.

• Notes: Included with timing cover.
• Applications: 3.0L.
