BMW E36 Camshaft Seal ELRING Quality
ELRING 586.668 | Original Equipment (OEM) | Compatible with M40 Engine
- Timing Belt Danger: The M40 engines of the E36 are timing belt driven! When your old seal starts to leak, the leaking hot engine oil drips directly onto the rubber timing belt. An oil-soaked timing belt deteriorates quickly, skips teeth, or breaks. The moment the belt breaks, the engine valves collide, leading to rectification costs of thousands of lira!
- Installation Precision: Do NOT scratch the surface of the camshaft with a flat screwdriver while removing the old seal! If the shaft is scratched, even the best seal in the world will continue to leak oil from that scratch.
The original BMW E36 Camshaft Seal, produced with the world-leading German ELRING brand for the legendary 4-cylinder (M40) engines of the BMW 3 Series, is now available! This vital rubber part, located at the front of the camshaft on the top cover of the engine, prevents the pressurized hot oil inside from leaking out. Your old seal, hardened and lost its flexibility after thousands of kilometers of heat cycles over the years, will start to sweat oil down the front surface of the engine. This leaking oil is ready to rot and break the delicate timing belt of the M40 engines. Without venturing into aftermarket adventures for sealing, you can keep the front of your engine completely dry with this BMW E36 Camshaft Seal produced directly with ELRING "Das Original" quality. Using a viton/fluorocarbon alloy BMW E36 Camshaft Seal that is maximally resistant to heat and pressure is the cheapest and most guaranteed way to protect the heart of your E36.
- Protects the Timing Belt: By cutting off oil leaks like a knife, it prevents your timing belt from staying in oil and rotting or breaking. A new BMW E36 Camshaft Seal is like life insurance for the engine.
- ELRING (OEM) Assurance: It is the number one brand used by German automotive giants (BMW, Mercedes, VW) in factory assembly for seals and gasket groups. Unlike aftermarket seals, it will not harden from heat and leak oil again after 2 months.
- Perfectly Compatible Shaft Measurement: It fits the diameter of the M40 camshaft millimetrically, does not create friction loss in rotational movement, and does not wear the shaft.
- Economic Precaution: Not replacing a 100 lira sealing seal in time can lead to a 50,000 lira engine rectification cost. It must be renewed during timing belt replacement.
