Seal up a weeping cam cover and keep engine oil where it belongs with the APEX Automobile Parts Inc Valve Cover Gasket Set (AVC495). This set drops in as a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of L4-2.0L, L4-2.3L and L4-2.5L four-cylinders, including the 2005-2019 Ford Escape 2.3L or 2.5L, 2006-2020 Ford Fusion 2.3L or 2.5L, 2004-2011 Ford Focus 2.0L or 2.3L and many Lincoln, Mazda and Mercury models — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
What it does: the valve cover gasket seals the valve cover to the cylinder head, keeping engine oil from seeping out around the top of the engine.
- Seal replacement: replaces a hardened, cracked or leaking original gasket at the valve cover joint.
- Set coverage: supplied as a gasket set; the listed applications use one set.
- Broad application: engineered to fit the L4-2.0L, L4-2.3L and L4-2.5L engines in the covered Ford, Lincoln, Mazda and Mercury vehicles.
Signs the gasket may need replacing include oil seepage down the side of the engine, oil pooling in the spark plug wells, or a burning-oil smell from oil dripping onto hot components. If a failed valve cover gasket is the cause, this set replaces it.
