This part number 54233 cross-references Ford 4C2Z 6051-BA and FEL-PRO 9792 PT-2 for the same application.

With a standard 0.035-inch thickness and 3.71-inch bore diameter, this gasket matches OE-style service requirements for engines listed in the fitment data. Mahle gaskets are used by OEMs and technicians worldwide for sealing applications that demand consistent fit and material integrity.
