BMW E36 Cylinder Head Bolt ELRING (M40/M42/M43/M44 Bolt Set)
ELRING 802.760 | Original German Torque Bolts | Gasket Set Complement
- Do Not Use Old Bolts: Cylinder head bolts are made of "flexible (stretching)" steel. They stretch the moment they are torqued at the factory. If you reuse old bolts when the gasket fails, these bolts, which have reached their stretch limit, can break inside the engine block with a "snap" when tightened with a torque wrench! It is a technical MUST to use a brand new set of BMW E36 Cylinder Head Bolts every time you open the head.
- Torque and Angle Rules: When installing a new BMW E36 Cylinder Head Bolt set, your technician must strictly adhere to the torque (Nm) values and angle rules specified by the manufacturer. Over-tightening or unevenly tightened bolts can lead to gasket failure.
Specially imported for BMW's legendary E36 chassis with 4-cylinder (M40, M42, M43, M44) engines, the unsung hero of engine gasket replacements, the ELRING brand BMW E36 Cylinder Head Bolt set is now available! Using old bolts when installing a new cylinder head or cylinder head gasket on E36 vehicles that are overheating or undergoing engine rebuilds (rectification) is one of the biggest mistakes in the industry. An old BMW E36 Cylinder Head Bolt that has reached its stretch limit cannot compress the engine block sufficiently. This can cause the engine to lose compression on the first strain, mix oil with water, and instantly blow the gasket again. In the worst-case scenario, the bolt can break inside the engine block, leading to thousands of lira in machining and block removal costs. To protect your engine from these massive dangers and to seal that valuable new gasket to the block, you can perfect your insulation with this brand new BMW E36 Cylinder Head Bolt set produced with the quality of "Das Original" ELRING, the OEM supplier of the German automotive industry. This imported set, made from high-heat-treated steel, secures the head to the engine block at factory pressure values.
- Vital Block Protection: Prevents old bolts from breaking inside the block, turning the engine into scrap or incurring additional rectification labor costs. Both the technician and the customer will be at ease with a brand new BMW E36 Cylinder Head Bolt.
- Perfect Gasket Sealing: Thanks to its flexible steel structure, it applies equal pressure to the head gasket when the engine heats up and cools down, preventing compression leaks and oil/water mixing.
- ELRING Das Original Quality: Manufactured in Germany to precisely match the stretch tolerances and steel alloy standards used in BMW's factory assembly line.
- Complete Set: All the torque bolts (10 pieces) required to secure the head of your 4-cylinder M Series engine are included in the box.
