C36 M104 3.6 HEAD GASKET Elring PRE-ORDER

As many of you may already know, the head gasket for the c36 m104 engine has been NLA for some time now. Luckily, Elring was able to get a hold of a genuine Mercedes Gasket so they can manufacture the proper head gasket the 3.6 m104 for me.

Elring is offering them at a minimum quantity so in order to fill that amount I am opening up a pre-order for 2 weeks for anyone who is interested in ordering one or more for themselves. Payment by PayPal Invoice.

Price $450 + $25 shipping in the USA, please inquire for international shipping costs.

Thickness / seal 1.75mm

Diameter 92.5mm

Piston diameter 91.00mm to 91.50mm

I'm interested but does the price go down as more people signup?

Hey AMGHead,
Hopefully it's okay to revive this thread?
I'd be very interested to get my hands on this replacement.
Did you manage to get enough people together to get a production run going?
Cheers
AJ

Sounds good sir. You can count me in for at least a couple.
FYI I’m in the UK, but I’m sure we can make this work.

Or you could buy a higher quality multi-layer steel (MLS) version from these guys:

http://mbspecialist.com/mercedes_web...040160120OMLS/

Designed specifically for AMG M104 blocks. Expect $100 shipping to the US. Total cost is about $380, which is less than Elring’s offer.

Very cool indeed. Hoping to hear more about the hedgehog head gasket.
If its 3.6 specific, stronger and cheaper than elring, it could be the way forward!

I have yet to install it, but it has 3-4 layers with one of the middle gaskets being notably thicker than the rest. Not sure if that’s for strength.

Hi all,
I have the Elring 3.6 gasket in stock and will offer it for same price as the original poster in this thread. $450 for the gasket + $25 for shipping in U.S.A. and please inquire about international shipping. The first run was mostly for my own stock and ive already sold a couple of my extras but if the demand is there i will order a larger amount next time. Please email me @ brad8350@gmail.com Thanks!

I apologize for not answering as I ran into issues with Elring's production team who did not want to sell the 3.6 gasket since it was specially made for a vendor in Germany. Give there was only one comment, it didn't seem as though the thread/group buy had any traction.

I ended up being able to purchase a limited amount as a one time purchase, 2 of which I will be using for my engines.

I don't plan on selling the other ones unless Elring allows me to purchase more of them.

Thanks for the update amghead.
I managed to secure a couple of Brad's spares, so at least everyone on this thread is set for now.
In case anybody else was on the fence, I'm happy to vouch for Brad - he arranged shipping to the UK for me and they arrived swiftly and well packed.

Glad to hear you were able to secure the gasket from Brad.

Wish I could've helped but Elring was being difficult with these gaskets.
