Elring 400.531 Engine Cylinder Head Gasket

Elring 400.531 Cylinder Head Gasket

The Elring 400.531 engine cylinder head gasket is a multilayer steel (MLS) gasket built for precise sealing between the cylinder head and engine block. With an 83.5 mm diameter and 1.2 mm thickness, it is specified for applications that require accurate compression sealing and stable installed thickness.

Key Features

• Engine cylinder head gasket for sealing the combustion chamber, coolant, and oil passages
• Multilayer steel (MLS) gasket design for consistent sealing performance
• 83.5 mm diameter for the specified engine bore application
• 1.2 mm thickness and 1.2 mm installed thickness
• Elring part number 400.531 for catalog and service reference
• This part cross-references A918 E0029F and A918E0029F for the same application.

Detailed Description

Elring 400.531 is an MLS cylinder head gasket engineered for engines that require a controlled sealing surface and exact thickness. The 1.2 mm installed thickness helps maintain the intended compression ratio and sealing geometry, while the 83.5 mm diameter supports the specified bore size. For technicians searching for an Elring head gasket, 400.531, or an MLS engine gasket for cylinder head service, this part provides the core dimensions needed for accurate replacement selection. It is a direct-fit style sealing component for engine rebuild and head gasket repair work, including applications such as Honda Civic and Acura Integra where the correct bore and thickness are critical.

What It Helps Address

• Coolant loss from a failed cylinder head seal
• Combustion gas leakage between the head and block
• Oil seepage at the head gasket interface
• Compression loss that affects engine performance
• Overheating caused by sealing failure in the head area

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm bore diameter, gasket thickness, and engine code before installation. Inspect the cylinder head and block surfaces for flatness, corrosion, and residue, and clean both mating surfaces thoroughly. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque sequence and tightening specifications during assembly. For Honda Civic and Acura Integra head gasket service, verify that the replacement gasket matches the original installed thickness and MLS design before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

Elring is known for engine sealing components used in professional repair and rebuild applications. Verify part number 400.531 against the original gasket specification and engine application before installation.
