A Cylinder Head Gasket from
Elring (MPN: 854.390) is a vital part that ensures the integrity of your engine's cylinder head and block connection. Typically used in engines across various vehicle types, this gasket provides excellent sealing capabilities, minimizing oil and coolant leaks. With its precise dimensions (19.0 x 227.0 x 560.0 mm), made in Germany, it offers improved performance and reliability. Dimensions are provided by the supplier and may include packaging dimensions.
Head gaskets seal the combustion chambers between the cylinder head and engine block, preventing leakage of combustion gases, coolant, and oil. These multi-layered steel and composite components withstand extreme temperatures and pressures generated during engine operation. Variations exist for different engine families and bore/stroke configurations, dictating precise dimensions and material compositions. Modern designs often incorporate features like multi-layer steel (MLS) construction, Viton® coating, or fire rings to enhance sealing performance and durability. Proper torque sequencing and gasket preparation are critical for successful installation and long-term reliability.
