Elring 588.281 Engine Cylinder Head Gasket
Elring MLS Cylinder Head Gasket
Elring 588.281 is a multi-layer steel cylinder head gasket built for precise sealing in modern Mercedes-Benz engines. With an 84.1 mm diameter, 0.85 mm installed thickness, and a 4-layer MLS design, it supports consistent compression sealing where cylinder head integrity matters most.
Compatible with select Mercedes-Benz C300, E300, E350, GLC300, and GLE350 applications, this gasket is a direct-fit sealing component for engine repair and rebuild work. The Elring 588.281 part number is also referenced in OE and aftermarket interchange listings for the same application.
Key Features
- Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction for cylinder head sealing
- 84.1 mm diameter for the specified engine application
- 0.85 mm installed thickness and 0.85 mm overall thickness
- 4-layer gasket design for stable sealing performance
- Engine gasket and sealing system component from Elring
Detailed Description
This Elring cylinder head gasket is engineered for engines that require a precise MLS sealing surface between the cylinder head and engine block. The layered steel construction helps maintain sealing integrity under combustion pressure, coolant flow, and oil exposure. For Mercedes-Benz owners and technicians servicing 2019-2023 C300, 2021-2023 E300, 2020-2023 E350, 2020-2023 GLC300, or 2020-2023 GLE350 models, Elring 588.281 provides the specified fitment and dimensions needed for a proper repair.
This part cross-references OE and aftermarket numbers including 264 016 08 00 and A 264 016 08 00 for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Coolant leakage at the cylinder head sealing surface
- Oil seepage between the head and block
- Compression loss from a compromised head gasket
- Combustion gas leakage into the cooling system
- Sealing issues during engine teardown or rebuild
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify engine code, gasket diameter, and thickness before installation. Inspect the cylinder head and block surfaces for warpage, corrosion, or residue, and clean all mating surfaces thoroughly before assembly. Follow the manufacturer’s torque sequence and tightening specifications for the engine, and replace any related sealing components required by the repair procedure.
Quality Assurance
Elring is known for engine sealing components used in demanding repair environments, and this MLS gasket is built to match the specified application requirements for consistent fit and sealing performance.
