MAHLE Cylinder Head Gasket for Ford 2.5L Duratec Engines – Precise Sealing for Fusion, Escape, and More

When repairing the cylinder head on your Ford 2.5L Duratec engine, the MAHLE 54980 stands out as the direct replacement that delivers consistent compression and heat resistance beyond what aftermarket alternatives offer. Built with multi-layer steel construction, this gasket maintains tight seals under extreme pressures and temperatures, reducing the risk of leaks and supporting longer engine life compared to lesser designs. Ford owners choose it for its exact match to factory standards, making it the straightforward pick for reliable rebuilds without complications.

Key Specifications

  • Material: Multi-layer steel (MLS) for enhanced durability and sealing
  • Bore Diameter: 3.500 inches (88.9 mm)
  • Compressed Thickness: 0.030 inches
  • Combustion Chamber Volume: 4.84 cc
  • Part Weight: 0.53 lbs
  • Cross-Reference Part Numbers: Ford OEM 8E5Z-6051-C, 8E5Z-6051-F, Fel-Pro 26521 PT

This MLS design conforms perfectly to engine surfaces, handling the demands of daily driving or heavier loads with fewer failures than single-layer options.

  • Ford Fusion: 2011–2020
  • Ford Escape: 2013–2019
  • Ford Transit Connect: 2014–2020
  • Lincoln MKZ: 2011–2012
  • Mercury Milan: 2011

Verify your exact submodel for confirmation, as this gasket fits gas and hybrid variants in these ranges.
