Title: Any issues with aftermarket head gaskets ?
Post by: erickmarciano on October 14, 2025, 23:03:24

Hi guys.
Any issues with aftermarket head gaskets ?
My friend installed a Elring gasket and it blew after 50 miles

 Seems unlikely that it's the head gasket. Could be an installation problem.

Elring might be OEM Mercedes part. I would not hesitate to install Elring.
