Mercedes Sprinter T1N Cylinder Head Gasket – Elring OEM | OM647 2.7L | #6470160620 (2004–2006)

DESCRIPTION:

The cylinder head gasket is the most critical seal in your T1N Sprinter's engine — it's the barrier between the combustion chamber, the coolant passages, and the oil circuit. When it fails, the consequences range from coolant loss and white smoke all the way to engine damage from overheating or oil-coolant contamination. This is the Elring OEM standalone cylinder head gasket for the 2004–2006 T1N Sprinter with the OM647 2.7L 5-cylinder diesel — the head gasket only, for mechanics who source their additional seals separately.

What This Part Does

The cylinder head gasket seals the mating surface between the cylinder head and engine block, maintaining separate passages for combustion pressure, engine coolant, and engine oil. It must withstand extreme pressure differentials and thermal cycling across its full service life. A failed gasket allows these fluids and gases to cross-contaminate — leading to overheating, milky oil, white exhaust smoke, coolant loss, and eventual engine damage if not addressed promptly.

Head Gasket Only — Complete Set Also Available

This listing is for the cylinder head gasket alone. For a complete head gasket set including all associated seals and O-rings required for a full head removal, see the complete set (part #6120101820ELR). If you're doing a full head job, the complete set is the recommended choice.

Important: Always Replace Head Bolts

Cylinder head bolts are torque-to-yield stretch bolts and must always be replaced with the head gasket — head bolts sold separately (part #6119901322REI). Never reinstall used head bolts on a new head gasket.
