Mercedes Sprinter T1N Cylinder Head Gasket Set – Elring OEM | OM612 & OM647 2.7L | #6120101820 (2001–2006)

DESCRIPTION:

A head gasket job on the T1N Sprinter is one of the most labor-intensive engine repairs you'll undertake — and using anything less than a complete, OEM-quality gasket set puts the entire job at risk. This Elring OEM cylinder head gasket set for the OM612 and OM647 5-cylinder diesel includes the head gasket and all associated seals and O-rings required for a complete, leak-free head installation. Everything in one kit, from one manufacturer, to the same specification your engine was built with.

What's Included

This is a complete head gasket set — cylinder head gasket plus all essential seals, O-rings, and gaskets required for a full cylinder head installation. No need to source individual components separately.

What This Part Does

The cylinder head gasket seals the mating surface between the cylinder head and engine block, containing combustion pressure, engine oil, and coolant within their separate passages. On the T1N's 5-cylinder diesel, a failed head gasket typically presents as white smoke, coolant loss, milky oil, overheating, or combustion gases in the coolant system. A complete set from Elring ensures every sealing surface disturbed during the head removal is restored to factory spec simultaneously.

Why Elring

Elring Klinger is one of Mercedes-Benz's primary OEM gasket suppliers — the same manufacturer that produced the original sealing components for these engines. Their head gaskets are manufactured to the same material specifications, fire ring dimensions, and bore sizing as the factory parts. On a job this significant, this is the right level of quality.

Important: Always Replace Head Bolts

Cylinder head bolts are torque-to-yield stretch bolts and must be replaced every time the head is removed — head bolts are sold separately (part #6119901322REI). Installing a new head gasket with reused head bolts is one of the most common causes of repeat head gasket failure.
