Using part number 655.840 ensures proper fitment and reliable sealing performance for these specific models.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Prevents intake manifold air leaks that can cause rough idling or engine misfires
• Eliminates coolant or oil leaks around the intake manifold area
• Helps maintain proper engine vacuum for optimal fuel efficiency
• Reduces risk of engine overheating due to coolant leaks
• Addresses gasket wear and degradation from prolonged heat exposure

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Elring 655.840 intake manifold gasket, ensure the mating surfaces are clean and free of old gasket material or debris.
