ELRING 913.822 Seals

ELRING 913.822 Cylinder Head Gasket

The ELRING 913.822 is a high‑performance cylinder head gasket designed for use in a wide range of diesel and gasoline engines, particularly those from the Mercedes-Benz, Daewoo, and SsangYong families. It provides reliable sealing between the cylinder head and engine block, ensuring optimal compression, preventing coolant or oil leaks, and maintaining engine efficiency over extended service life.

Key Features

• Advanced Composite Construction: Combines a metal core with a high‑temperature resistant fiber composite to deliver superior sealing under extreme pressure and temperature conditions.
• Precision Machining: Each gasket is manufactured to exact tolerances, guaranteeing a perfect fit on the specified engine models.
• Corrosion Resistance: The material composition resists corrosion from coolant additives and oil contaminants, extending the gasket’s operational lifespan.
• High‑Temperature Stability: Maintains integrity up to 400 °C (752 °F), suitable for modern turbocharged engines.
• Compatibility Range: Designed for a variety of engine blocks and cylinder heads, including the Vito Bus (W638) 2.3 L, Musso, V‑Class, and other models listed in the product catalogue.

Engine Compatibility Overview

The 913.822 gasket is engineered to fit the following engine families:

Material Composition

The gasket’s core is a high‑strength steel alloy, providing the necessary structural support to withstand combustion chamber pressures. Surrounding this core is a fiber composite layer made from carbon or glass fibers impregnated with a high‑temperature epoxy resin. This combination offers:

• Excellent sealing against coolant and oil flow.
• Resistance to thermal expansion mismatches between the head and block.
• Reduced risk of gasket failure due to cracking or warping.

Installation Guidelines

1. Preparation: Clean all mating surfaces on both the cylinder head and engine block. Remove any old gasket material, debris, or corrosion.
2. Inspection: Verify that the head bolts are in good condition and replace any damaged fasteners.
3. Placement: Position the 913.822 gasket onto the engine block, ensuring it aligns with the bolt holes and valve cover openings.
4. Reassembly: Carefully place the cylinder head over the gasket, avoiding any distortion of the seal.
5. Tightening Sequence: Follow the manufacturer’s torque sequence for the head bolts. Typically this involves a multi‑step process (e.g., 30 Nm → 45 Nm → 60 Nm) to achieve uniform clamping pressure.
6. Final Checks: Inspect for any visible gaps or misalignments before starting the engine.

Performance Benefits

• Maintains engine compression integrity, preventing loss of power and efficiency.
• Prevents coolant leaks, which can lead to overheating and head damage.
• Reduces the risk of oil contamination in the coolant system, preserving cooling performance.
• Supports longer service intervals due to its durable construction.

Maintenance Tips

• Regularly inspect the head bolts for proper torque after every major maintenance cycle.
• Avoid over‑tightening, which can deform the gasket and compromise sealing.
• Use a cleaning solvent to remove any residue from previous gasket materials before installation.
• Store spare gaskets in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption.
