Elring 707.170 Seals, Black

Elring 707.170 Seals – Black

The Elring 707.170 Seal is a high‑performance component designed for the precise sealing of valve stems in internal combustion engines. Manufactured by Elring, a leading supplier of automotive seals and gaskets, this product delivers reliable performance across a wide range of vehicle makes and models.

Key Features

• Material: Premium fluorocarbon rubber (FPM) – offers excellent resistance to oil, fuel, and high temperatures.
• Color: Black – standard for most automotive applications, ensuring easy identification during maintenance.
• Dimensions: Inner diameter 6 mm; outer diameter 10.8 mm (or 13.6 mm) with a thickness of 10.3 mm.
• Temperature Range: -40 °C to +200 °C – suitable for both cold climates and high‑performance engines.
• Pressure Rating: Up to 150 bar – maintains integrity under extreme operating pressures.
• Compatibility: Fits a broad spectrum of vehicles including Ford, Mazda, Kia, Opel, Chevrolet, Isuzu, and many others.

Applications

The 707.170 seal is engineered for the following engine components:

• Valve stem (tige de soupape) – ensures a tight seal between the valve stem and cylinder head.
• Intake and exhaust manifolds – prevents leakage of gases during combustion cycles.
• Fuel injection systems – maintains fuel pressure integrity in high‑pressure injectors.

Installation Guidelines

1. Preparation: Clean the valve stem and surrounding area with a solvent to remove oil, dirt, and old sealant residue.
2. Inspection: Verify that the valve stem is free of burrs or damage. Replace any damaged stems before installing the new seal.
3. Placement: Slide the seal onto the valve stem, ensuring it sits flush against the head gasket surface.
4. Compression: Use a torque wrench to tighten the cylinder head bolts to the manufacturer’s specified torque sequence. This compresses the seal evenly and prevents leaks.
5. Verification: After assembly, perform a leak test or compression test to confirm proper sealing.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect seals during routine maintenance intervals; replace if you notice any signs of wear such as cracks or hardening.
• Avoid exposing the seal to extreme temperatures for prolonged periods – keep the engine within its operating temperature range.
• Use only compatible lubricants and fluids that do not degrade fluorocarbon rubber.
