Gasket, cylinder head

This cylinder head gasket serves as a critical seal between the engine block and the cylinder head. We offer this essential component from Elring to help you maintain proper compression and containment within the combustion chamber. The gasket is constructed using Multi Layer Steel technology, a design choice that offers resilience against high pressures.

The technical specifications for this part are precise and require careful attention. It features a thickness of 1.65 mm and is visually identified by a 3 hole marking. You must ensure your engine matches the required piston protrusion range of 1.030 mm to 1.180 mm. This specific version is engineered for N47 engines producing 177 hp, specifically those where the air intake is positioned at the bottom of the manifold.

By effectively blocking the flow of liquids and gases, this gasket prevents critical failures in your vehicle. It ensures that oil and coolant channels remain separate, protecting your engine from overheating or contamination damage. Using the correct thickness is vital for maintaining the correct compression ratio and preventing contact between pistons and valves.
