ELRING 058.740 Seals

ELRING 058.740 Cylinder Head Gasket

The ELRING 058.740 is a high‑performance cylinder head gasket designed for a wide range of Honda and Acura engines, including the Accord Shuttle, Accord V, Prelude V, Odyssey MPV, and CL models. This gasket delivers superior sealing performance, ensuring optimal compression, preventing coolant or oil leaks, and maintaining engine reliability under demanding operating conditions.

Key Features

• Multi‑Layer Steel (MLS) Construction: Combines a steel core with multiple layers of high‑temperature resistant rubber to provide excellent sealing against both coolant and combustion gases.
• Thickness: 0.76 mm: Precisely engineered to match OEM specifications for the supported engine families, guaranteeing proper clearance and head bolt torque.
• High Temperature & Pressure Resistance: Capable of withstanding temperatures up to 400 °C and pressures typical of modern gasoline engines.
• Durability in Harsh Environments: Resistant to corrosion, oxidation, and chemical attack from engine fluids.
• Easy Installation: Designed for a straightforward fit with standard head bolt patterns; no special tools or modifications required.

Engine Compatibility

The gasket is engineered for the following Honda/Acura engines:

• Accord Shuttle (2.2 L, RA series)
• Accord V (Mk V, Mk VI, V Aerodeck)
• Prelude V
• Odyssey MPV (RA series)
• CL Coupe
• Other models with the same head bolt pattern and clearance specifications.

For each engine, the gasket ensures a perfect seal between the cylinder head and block, preventing coolant or oil leaks that could compromise performance or cause damage.

Material Composition

The ELRING 058.740 utilizes a proprietary blend of materials:

1. Steel Core: Provides structural integrity and maintains shape under high pressure.
2. Rubber Layers (EPDM/NR): Offer flexibility, chemical resistance, and excellent sealing properties at elevated temperatures.
3. Adhesive Bonding: Ensures the layers remain bonded during thermal cycling and mechanical stress.

Installation Guidelines

1. Remove the old gasket and clean the head and block surfaces with a non‑abrasive cleaner.
2. Inspect the mating surfaces for cracks, warping, or damage; repair if necessary.
3. Place the new ELRING 058.740 onto the cylinder head, aligning it precisely with the bolt holes.
4. Reinstall the head bolts in a star pattern, tightening to the manufacturer’s torque specifications.
5. Check for any coolant or oil leaks after initial startup and adjust as needed.

Performance Benefits

• Improved Engine Efficiency: A tight seal reduces compression loss, leading to better fuel economy and power output.
• Extended Engine Life: By preventing coolant or oil leaks, the gasket protects critical engine components from corrosion and overheating.
• Reliability Under High Load: Suitable for performance applications where engines operate at higher temperatures and pressures.
