Fitment and Application Details

Compatible with 1997-1999 Ford Escort, N/A, and 1997-1999 Mercury Tracer, N/A. The Mahle HS54227 is a direct-fit engine cylinder head gasket set for these vehicles, and the cylinder head bolt replacement is recommended for the listed torque-to-yield applications. This part cross-references FEL-PRO HS 9309 PT-2 for the same application.

What This Gasket Set Helps Address

• Coolant or compression loss from a worn cylinder head gasket
• Exhaust leaks at the manifold sealing surface
• Intake manifold sealing issues that can affect engine operation
• Oil seepage or fluid leaks from aging top-end seals
• Service needs during cylinder head removal and reassembly

Installation Notes

Confirm engine code and gasket surface condition before installation. Because this is a torque-to-yield application, follow the factory tightening sequence and replace cylinder head bolts as recommended for 1997-1999 Ford Escort and Mercury Tracer service. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly and verify alignment of the graphite head gasket, exhaust manifold gasket, and molded rubber intake manifold gasket during assembly.
