• Aluminum material with grey finish
• 0.1180 thickness for a controlled sealing surface
• 8 mounting holes
• No valley pan included
• No gasket sealant included
• Victor Reinz part number 71-29087-00

Detailed Description

Victor Reinz 71-29087-00 is engineered for intake manifold sealing where temperature changes, fluid exposure, and vibration place constant stress on the gasket surface. This gasket is listed for 1985-1986 Mercedes-Benz 190E models and is built with aluminum to support a stable seal at the intake manifold interface. The grey gasket design and 8-hole mounting pattern reflect the application-specific fit required for proper manifold alignment. If you are servicing a Mercedes-Benz 190E intake leak, vacuum leak, or coolant seepage at the manifold, this gasket provides the correct sealing component for the job. This part cross-references Mercedes-Benz OE number 102 141 24 80 for the same application.

What This Gasket Helps Address

• Intake manifold air leaks that can affect idle quality and drivability
• Coolant seepage at the manifold sealing surface
• Oil or fuel vapor leakage around the intake interface
• Vacuum leaks that can trigger rough running conditions
• Seal deterioration from heat cycling and engine vibration

Installation Notes and Tips

Clean both mating surfaces thoroughly before installation and inspect the intake manifold and cylinder head for warpage, corrosion, or residue. Verify the 8-hole mounting pattern and confirm the gasket orientation matches the Mercedes-Benz 190E intake layout before tightening fasteners to the manufacturer’s torque sequence. Sealant is not included, so follow the vehicle service procedure for any sealant requirements specific to the engine.

Quality Assurance

Victor Reinz is known for gasket and sealing system coverage across import and domestic engine applications, with material and construction choices matched to the engine design. Part number 71-29087-00 is built for the specified Mercedes-Benz 190E fitment and intake sealing requirements.
