How often are cylinder head gaskets produced at ElringKlinger?
Development work at ElringKlinger always focuses on the entire engine system. Around 45,000,000 cylinder-head gaskets are produced each year. Whatever the engine concept, we can provide the right sealing system accompanied by an engineering service to speed up the development process from the original idea to production standard.
Where are the head gaskets on an over head engine?
On Over Head Camshaft (OHC) engines one or two cams mount at the top of the cylinder head, while rocker arms and shafts or studs occupy the same space on Over Head Valve (OHV) engines. Coolant and oil passages are cast into the head, along with threaded holes for the spark plugs. The head seals to the block with a head gasket.
How many cylinder head gaskets are produced each year?
Cylinder-head gaskets (CHG) have a crucial role to play in the advancement of engine technology, particularly with respect to high-performance diesel engines and petrol engines with direct injection. Development work at ElringKlinger always focuses on the entire engine system. Around 45,000,000 cylinder-head gaskets are produced each year.
What are the dangers involved in doubling head gaskets?
Definitely stacking head gaskets in a diesel engine, with its high compression (17:1 – 23:1) is a recipe for disaster. Even metal laminates will distort under compression, and blow. There are actually thicker headgaskets for diesel engines that have had the cylinder heads skimmed.

What are the symptoms of a cylinder head gasket leak?
Symptoms Of Cylinder Head Gasket Leaks; 1 Coolant leaking externally from below the exhaust manifold 2 White smoke from the exhaust pipe 3 Overheating engine 4 Bubbles in the radiator or coolant overflow tank 5 White milky oil 6 Significant loss of coolant with no visible leaks
What makes TTY bolts better for head gaskets?
Unlike ordinary bolts that are stretched within their range of elasticity when torqued, and return to their original length when loosened, TTY bolts are designed to be torqued to their yield point, and will remain elongated. This has been proven to provide more even clamping and better head gasket seal.
What kind of bolts to use on MLS headgasket?
Typically, the OEM’s use torque-to-yield head bolts to clamp the cylinder heads to the block. Torque-to-yield bolts are one-time use only. So once you pull them off, throw them away. Usually, these bolts can be identified because they will have a flat gray surface coating, but if you aren’t sure, always play it safe and buy new head bolts.
