  Manifold Gasket, Turbocharger Gasket

• Description:

  This genuine Ford exhaust manifold gasket, base number 9448, seals between the cylinder head and the exhaust manifold on current-generation Bronco Sport and Escape models, containing exhaust gases at the joint so they flow into the exhaust system rather than leaking at the head. The gasket withstands the high heat and pressure pulses of the exhaust stream and must stay sealed to prevent leaks that cause noise, lost performance, and the risk of exhaust entering surrounding areas. As the gasket ages and heat-cycles, it can blow out or fail at the joint, which is why a leaking manifold gasket produces a ticking or hissing exhaust leak that is loudest on cold start. Owners and technicians replace this gasket when they hear an exhaust tick or leak at the manifold, are removing the manifold for service, find the original gasket failed or burned through, or are addressing a leak traced to the head-to-manifold joint. Built to Ford specifications for this engine, the gasket provides the correct shape, port alignment, and heat resistance for a lasting seal. Clean both sealing surfaces thoroughly, check the manifold for flatness, fit the gasket correctly oriented, and torque the manifold fasteners in sequence to specification. After installation, run the engine and confirm the exhaust leak is gone so the manifold joint stays sealed.
