Technical Specifications

Installation Overview

1. Preparation: Remove the cylinder head and clean all mating surfaces. Inspect for cracks or damage.
2. Component Placement: Install the valve stem seals first, followed by the oil passage gaskets, coolant passages, and finally the main head gasket.
3. Sealing Ring Installation: Place the sealing ring on the cylinder head mounting surface to ensure a uniform pressure distribution.
4. Reassembly: Reattach the cylinder head with torque specifications strictly followed. Use a calibrated torque wrench to avoid over‑ or under‑tightening.
5. Final Checks: Verify that all passages are clear and that there is no leakage during a compression test.

Benefits of Choosing ELRING 313.661
