Detailed Description

This Elring cylinder head gasket is engineered for engines that require MLS construction and the listed dimensional specifications. It is a direct-fit sealing component for 1998-2001 Ford Ranger, 1998-2000 Ford F-100 Ranger, and 1995-1997 Chevrolet S10 applications, making it a relevant choice when servicing head gasket sealing on these vehicles. The part number 565.840 is useful when matching OE-style replacement requirements and confirming the correct gasket by engine measurement rather than vehicle name alone.

This part cross-references 61-36655-10 and H11826-10 for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a failed cylinder head gasket on a Ford Ranger or Chevrolet S10 engine
• Restoring combustion chamber sealing after overheating or head removal
• Addressing coolant or oil leakage at the cylinder head interface
• Correcting compression loss caused by gasket sealing failure
• Supporting engine rebuild or head service work that requires MLS sealing

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify piston protrusion before installation and confirm it falls within the listed 0.61 mm to 0.7 mm range. Clean the block and cylinder head mating surfaces thoroughly, inspect both surfaces for warpage, and follow the engine manufacturer’s torque sequence and tightening specifications during assembly. Confirm the gasket thickness, diameter, and hole count match the engine configuration before installation.
