Victor Reinz 11-10156-01 Exhaust Manifold Gasket Set

Victor Reinz Exhaust Manifold Gasket Set

Victor Reinz 11-10156-01 is an exhaust manifold gasket set built for high-heat sealing at the manifold-to-cylinder head interface. It is a fiber, one-piece gasket with a 0.065 thickness and 8 bolt holes, made for direct-fit service on a wide range of Ford and Mercury applications.

Compatible with 2000-2004 Ford Focus, 1981-2002 Ford Escort, 1991-1999 Mercury Tracer, 1981-1987 Mercury Lynx, and 1982-1983 Mercury LN7. This part number, 11-10156-01, is also a fitment match for service replacements where OE-style exhaust sealing is required.

Key Features

• Fiber gasket material for exhaust manifold sealing
• One-piece configuration for a direct replacement layout
• 0.065 thickness for OE-style sealing dimensions
• 8 bolt holes for the listed manifold applications
• Fits Ford Focus, Ford Escort, Mercury Tracer, Mercury Lynx, and Mercury LN7 applications
• Victor Reinz 11-10156-01 cross-references MAHLE MS15249 for the same application

Application Details

Exhaust manifold gaskets must hold a seal under repeated heat cycling, and Victor Reinz has long supplied manifold sealing products to original equipment manufacturers. This gasket set is engineered to meet OE specifications across a broad range of vehicles, including later-model compact cars and older Ford and Mercury platforms. If you are servicing a Ford Escort exhaust leak or replacing a gasket on a Mercury Tracer, 11-10156-01 provides the correct fitment profile for the listed engines and model years.

What It Helps Fix

• Exhaust leaks at the manifold-to-head sealing surface
• Ticking or puffing noises from a leaking manifold gasket
• Burnt gasket material from heat-related sealing failure
• Loss of exhaust sealing after manifold removal service
• Check-engine concerns related to exhaust leakage at the manifold

Installation Notes

Inspect the exhaust manifold and cylinder head sealing surfaces before installation. Remove carbon buildup, corrosion, and old gasket material so the new gasket can seat evenly. Verify bolt-hole alignment and torque fasteners in the manufacturer-specified sequence for the vehicle being serviced. For best results, confirm the application by year, make, and model before ordering 11-10156-01.

Quality Assurance

Victor Reinz is known for supplying OE-level sealing components to vehicle manufacturers, and this exhaust manifold gasket set follows that OE-spec approach for the listed Ford and Mercury applications. The part is built to address the high-temperature demands of exhaust sealing in service replacement use.
