What It Helps Address

• Oil seepage from the right valve cover area
• Visible oil residue around the cylinder head and cover seam
• Loss of sealing at the valve cover interface during maintenance
• Replacement needs after gasket wear, hardening, or compression set

Installation Notes

Confirm the right-side position before installation and verify engine application against the vehicle’s service information. Clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly and inspect the valve cover for warpage or damage before fitting the new gasket set. For best results, match the part number 475.840 to the vehicle’s engine configuration and compare it with the existing gasket layout on Mercedes-Benz 400E, 500E, E420, and S420 models.
