What is a multi-layer steel (MLS) gasket?

A multi-layer steel gasket uses several layers of steel bonded together. This construction allows it to better conform to sealing surfaces and withstand the high temperatures and pressures of exhaust systems, providing a more reliable seal than single-layer designs.

What are the signs of a failing exhaust manifold gasket?

Common signs include a loud ticking or puffing noise from the engine bay, especially when the engine is cold, and a noticeable exhaust smell. Reduced engine performance or a check engine light may also occur if the leak is significant.

Does this gasket come with new hardware?

This product includes the exhaust manifold gasket only. It is recommended to inspect and replace any exhaust manifold bolts or studs as needed during installation, as they can become brittle or damaged over time.

Product Details

This exhaust manifold gasket is made from a multi-layer steel (MLS) design, a common and effective choice for sealing exhaust systems. It's built to handle the high temperatures and pressures found between the exhaust manifold and the cylinder head. A good gasket here is crucial for preventing exhaust leaks, which can affect engine performance and create a noisy exhaust note.

This particular gasket is designed to fit a range of Ford and Lincoln vehicles equipped with the 2.0L DOHC 16V L4 engine. Models like the Ford Focus, Escape, and Explorer, as well as the Lincoln MKZ, can use this part. Ensuring a proper seal helps maintain the intended flow of exhaust gases out of the engine and into the exhaust system, contributing to efficient operation.

When replacing an exhaust manifold gasket, it's a good idea to inspect the manifold itself for any cracks or warping. This gasket is a direct replacement part, meaning it's made to match the original specifications for a straightforward installation.
