Reseal the top end of your engine with the APEX Automobile Parts Inc Engine Valve Cover Gasket Set (AVC495). It installs as a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of Ford, Lincoln, Mazda and Mercury four-cylinders — including the 2005-2019 Ford Escape, 2004-2011 Ford Focus, 2006-2020 Ford Fusion and 2004-2013 Mazda 3 — covering L4-2.0L, L4-2.3L and L4-2.5L engines.
- Job it does: seals the joint between the valve cover and the cylinder head, helping keep engine oil inside the head and contaminants out.
- Set coverage: supplies the valve-cover sealing gaskets for the listed application.
- Quantity: the listed applications use one set each; this listing is for one set (Quantity Per Application: 1).
Over time a hardened or cracked valve cover gasket can let oil seep from under the cover, collect in the spark-plug wells, or drip onto hot exhaust and produce a burning-oil smell. If a failed valve cover gasket is the cause of your oil leak, this set replaces it. Diagnose the source of the leak before ordering. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct torque sequence and whether any fasteners may be reused.
Interchange: Manufacturer part number AVC495. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of covered vehicles and engines.
