Elring 589.371 Engine Cylinder Head Gasket

Engine Cylinder Head Gasket Overview

The Elring 589.371 engine cylinder head gasket is built for specific Mercedes-Benz applications that require an 84.1 mm bore and 0.85 mm thickness. Its multilayer steel construction supports a precise seal in the combustion and coolant passages.

Use this gasket when servicing compatible Mercedes-Benz A220 and A250 engines that match the listed OE reference. The Elring 589.371 is specified for direct replacement applications where gasket thickness and bore size must match the original design.

Key Features

• Multilayer steel (MLS) construction for a stable sealing surface.
• 0.85 mm installed thickness for OE-style dimensional match.
• 84.1 mm diameter for listed engine applications.
• Engine cylinder head gasket for sealing the cylinder head to the engine block.
• Cross-references OE number A 260 016 02 00 for the same application.

Detailed Description

Elring 589.371 is an MLS engine cylinder head gasket engineered around the listed 84.1 mm diameter and 0.85 mm thickness. These dimensions matter in head gasket service because they affect compression sealing, coolant isolation, and overall fit during engine reassembly. This part number is listed for Mercedes-Benz A220 and Mercedes-Benz A250 applications, including 2019 vehicles with OE reference A2600160200 and 2020-2022 A220 coverage.

For technicians and buyers searching for a Mercedes-Benz A220 head gasket or Mercedes-Benz A250 cylinder head gasket, Elring 589.371 provides a direct-match sealing solution when the engine specification calls for this exact bore and thickness. The MLS design is commonly selected for applications that require consistent clamping and reliable sealing across the head-to-block interface.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a failed cylinder head gasket during engine repair.
• Restoring compression sealing between the cylinder head and block.
• Addressing coolant or combustion sealing loss at the head interface.
• Matching OE gasket thickness and bore specification during rebuild work.

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm engine code, bore size, and OE reference before installation. Clean and inspect the cylinder head and block mating surfaces, and verify that the sealing faces are flat and free of damage. Follow the manufacturer’s torque sequence and tightening specifications during assembly.

Quality Assurance

Elring is a recognized sealing-system manufacturer with OE-level application coverage. Part number 589.371 is specified to match the listed OE reference and dimensional requirements for the covered Mercedes-Benz applications.
