Detailed Description

Mahle JV5026 is an engine timing cover gasket set designed for front cover resealing on a wide range of vehicles. It is a direct-fit sealing solution for applications such as 2001-2012 Ford Escape, 2006-2012 Ford Fusion, 1996-2005 Ford Taurus, and 2003-2008 Mazda 6. This part number also serves additional Ford, Mazda, Mercury, and Lincoln models across the listed year range, making it a practical choice for timing cover service on high-mileage engines.

This set focuses on the sealing components needed around the timing cover area, including molded rubber gaskets, a timing cover seal, and an oil pump pickup tube O-ring. The OE-standard construction supports accurate fitment at the cover interface and helps restore proper oil sealing after timing component or front cover service. Mahle JV5026 cross-references FEL-PRO TCS 45967 and TCS 46016, as well as Rol TS12815, for the same application.
