  Engine Water Pump Gasket, Water Pump Assembly Gasket, Gasket Water Pump

• Description:

  This is the genuine Ford water pump assembly gasket for the current generation Escape, the flat sealing gasket that sits between the coolant pump housing and the engine block to hold pressurized coolant inside the cooling circuit. Ford catalogs it as a Water Pump Assembly Gasket, and it is the correct service seal for the 1.5L EcoBoost three cylinder and the 2.0L EcoBoost four cylinder Escape built from the 2023 model year forward. The gasket is a thin, precisely die cut sealing member with a specific compression thickness and bolt hole pattern, so a generic replacement will not seat the pump correctly against the block face. Drivers who need this part are usually chasing a coolant leak that shows up as a wet trail or dried orange crust running down the front of the engine behind the accessory belt, a low coolant warning that returns after every top off, sweet smelling steam at idle, or an overheating condition that appears only under sustained load. Because the seal is a one time crush item, Ford requires a new gasket any time the water pump is unbolted, even if the pump itself is being reused, and the gasket is supplied with a new pump assembly as well. Installation calls for a clean, dry, scraped block face with no old sealant residue, correct bolt torque in the factory sequence, and a full cooling system bleed afterward so no air pocket is trapped at the pump inlet. This is a factory Ford component built to the original engineering specification for material, thickness, and heat resistance, so it holds sealing pressure through the heat cycles that cause substitute gaskets to relax and weep.

• Notes: Included with Water pump assembly.
• Applications: 1.5L.
