Elring Valve Train

Elring Valve Train Components: German Engineering Precision

When it comes to the valve train — the intricate system of camshafts, valves, rocker arms, and associated sealing components that governs air and fuel flow through your engine — the integrity of every gasket and seal is non-negotiable. Elring, the aftermarket brand of ElringKlinger AG, brings more than 140 years of original equipment sealing expertise to this critical area of engine performance. Their valve train parts are built to the same standards that have made ElringKlinger a trusted development partner to virtually every major vehicle and engine manufacturer on the planet.

A Heritage Built on Sealing Excellence

In 1879, Paul Lechler founded a company trading in gaskets and technical products in Stuttgart, Germany — a legacy that would evolve into one of the automotive industry's most respected sealing specialists. Today, as a worldwide development partner and original equipment supplier of sealing systems, lightweight components, and modules, ElringKlinger provides its products to almost all of the world's vehicle and engine manufacturers. For the aftermarket, this heritage translates directly into parts that carry genuine OEM-grade credibility.

Valve Train Sealing: Where Elring Excels

Within the valve train, Elring's most important contributions are valve stem seals and valve cover gaskets — two components that work in tandem to keep oil out of the combustion chamber and away from the outside of the engine. Elring has invested significantly to develop high-quality seals that ensure durability and reliability even when conditions are critical, such as high pressures and temperatures. This commitment is reflected in valve stem seal kits engineered for a precise, long-lasting fit across a wide range of European and domestic applications.

Elring can supply many different types of oil seals and valve stem seals in a variety of materials and sizes, for engines, gearboxes, and axles — and of course to top quality standards. The breadth of fitment coverage ensures that whether you're servicing a Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, or Porsche, there's a high-probability match in the Elring catalog.

OE Pedigree Meets Aftermarket Convenience

The Elring aftermarket brand offers an all-embracing package: original equipment quality, functional reliability, and premium, end-to-end service. This means that when you install an Elring valve train seal or gasket, you're not settling for a generic approximation — you're getting a component engineered to the dimensional tolerances, material specifications, and performance benchmarks of the original factory part. For professional repairs, place your trust in genuine gaskets, gasket sets, and service parts from Elring — the reliable and experienced supplier of spare parts to original equipment standard.

Professionals who work with Elring gasket sets consider the Elring brand name synonymous with high-quality design and engineering. An advantage, besides the very wide range, is the comprehensive service: Elring has instruction videos ready online even for less common repairs on cylinders and complete engines.
