236.191 Elring Gasket, intake manifold

This Intake Manifold Gasket by Elring (MPN: 236.191) is designed to provide a tight seal between the intake manifold and engine block. Its dimensions are 24.0 x 153.0 x 451.0 mm, making it suitable for various engine configurations. Originating from Germany, this gasket is built to withstand high-performance demands. Dimensions are provided by the supplier and may include packaging dimensions. Intake manifold gaskets create a static seal between the intake manifold and the cylinder head, ensuring combustion chamber integrity. These gaskets are utilized in both gasoline and diesel engines, positioned between mating surfaces to prevent leaks of combustion gases, coolant, and oil. Common materials include composite multi-layer steel (MLS), rubber, or cork, selected for temperature resistance and sealing performance. Precise dimensional control and surface finish are critical to achieving a leak-free seal under high cylinder pressures and thermal cycling. Failure results in reduced engine efficiency, misfires, and potential component damage.
