Reseal the cylinder head with the Victor Reinz Engine Cylinder Head Gasket Set 02-26835-03, an engine-specific set that supplies head-side sealing components for a head-off gasket job. It fits the 1990-1993 Mercedes-Benz 190E, the 1987-1989 Mercedes-Benz 260E, and the 1990-1992 Mercedes-Benz 300E.
A cylinder head gasket set seals the joint between the cylinder head and the engine block, containing combustion pressure and separating the oil and coolant passages that cross that surface.
- Head-side sealing: designed to reseal the head-to-block surface during a head removal or gasket replacement.
- Application-specific: matched to the listed Mercedes-Benz models for a direct-fit replacement.
- Multi-piece set: supplies the gaskets and seals used on the head side of the job; consult the vehicle service information for the correct torque procedure and whether any fasteners may be reused.
Signs the head gaskets may need replacing include external oil or coolant seepage at the head, coolant loss, or oil and coolant intermixing — diagnose the cause before replacing, as these symptoms can have other sources.
