Has the Factory 1995 C36 head gasket been superceeded, by a new part number that has the metal reinforcements, so the head-gasket doen't recede over time and cause a leak ?

If so, what is that part number ?

I had to try two dealers before they could understand that an E320 or C280 head-gasket is different in size than the C36 head-gasket (H WA 104 016 01 20).

If not, does Elring sell one with the correct diameter and reinforcements ?

BTW: the Factory 3.6 head-gasket is stamped "Elring".

Thanks,
