ELRING 023.950 Engine Blocks

The ELRING 023.950 Engine Block is a high‑performance component designed to provide reliable sealing and protection for the crankshaft in automotive engines. This part is engineered with precision manufacturing techniques, ensuring optimal fitment and durability across a wide range of vehicle models.

Key Features

• Material Excellence: Constructed from premium PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) combined with reinforced elastomeric layers to resist extreme temperatures, oil contamination, and mechanical wear.
• Precision Dimensions: Standard size of 78 mm × 131.3 mm × 19 mm, matching OEM specifications for many Ford models including the KA, FIESTA V, and Fusion series.
• Dual‑End Sealing: Designed to seal both the transmission end and engine side of the crankshaft, preventing oil leakage and maintaining optimal lubrication.
• High Temperature Resistance: Capable of operating in environments up to 200 °C, ensuring consistent performance under heavy load conditions.
• Corrosion‑Resistant Finish: Surface treatment protects against rust and chemical attack from engine fluids.

Applications & Compatibility

The ELRING 023.950 is specifically engineered for use in a variety of Ford platforms, but its design also accommodates other manufacturers that share similar crankshaft dimensions:

• Ford KA (RB), FIESTA V, STREET KA, Fusion, and EcoSport models.
• Changan‑produced Ford vehicles across Africa, Asia, and Oceania.
• Vehicles requiring a rear crankshaft oil seal or transmission‑side shaft seal.

Its versatility makes it an ideal replacement for OEM parts such as the original Wellendichtring Kurbelwelle and Shaft Seal Crankshaft.

Installation Guidelines

1. Preparation: Clean the crankshaft surface thoroughly, removing all old seal material, oil residue, and debris. Inspect for cracks or damage.
2. Alignment: Position the ELRING 023.950 so that its sealing face aligns perfectly with the crankshaft flange. Use a torque wrench to apply the manufacturer’s recommended torque sequence.
3. Sealing Integrity: Verify that the seal sits flush against both the engine and transmission ends without gaps. A properly seated seal will prevent oil seepage during operation.
4. Final Check: After installation, run the engine for a short period to ensure no leaks develop. Inspect the seal after initial operation and adjust if necessary.

Maintenance & Longevity

The ELRING 023.950 is engineered for long‑term reliability, but regular maintenance can extend its service life:

• Inspect the seal during routine oil changes; look for signs of wear such as cracking or hardening.
• Avoid overfilling engine oil, which can increase pressure on the seal and accelerate degradation.
• Use only manufacturer‑approved lubricants to maintain optimal chemical compatibility with PTFE.
