• Engine cylinder head gasket for sealing the combustion chamber area.
• Elring 787.470 for Ford F-150, F-250, F-350, Bronco, and Econoline applications.

Detailed Description

Elring 787.470 is a fiber composite head gasket engineered for a broad range of Ford applications, including the F-150, F-250, F-350, Bronco, E-150 Econoline, E-100 Econoline, F-100, P-500, P-350, P-400, and Club Wagon. The gasket design focuses on reliable sealing at the cylinder head interface, helping maintain compression and reduce fluid or combustion leakage in service. This part cross-references Victor Reinz 61-10428-00 for the same application.

As an engine sealing component, this gasket is selected when the original seal has deteriorated, compression loss is present, or the engine shows signs of leakage at the head-to-block joint. Elring 787.470 is a direct-fit sealing solution for Ford truck and van engines covered by the listed fitment.

Common Uses

• Sealing combustion pressure at the cylinder head joint.
• Addressing coolant or oil leakage from the head gasket area.
• Restoring compression loss caused by a failed head gasket.
• Replacing a worn sealing surface during engine repair.

Installation Notes

Verify engine code, bore, and gasket dimensions before installation. Clean and inspect the cylinder head and block mating surfaces carefully, and follow the manufacturer’s torque sequence and tightening specifications during assembly. Confirm fitment against the vehicle’s engine configuration before final installation.
