ELRİNG 888.986 | Special Size After Head Grinding | German Original Equipment
- What is "1 Different Thickness"? This product is NOT in factory (standard) size. If your cylinder head has been corrected by "grinding" at the machine shop due to warping from overheating (if material has been removed), the head has become thinner. To compensate for that thinning and prevent the pistons from hitting the valves, this BMW E36 M42 Cylinder Head Gasket, which is thicker than the standard gasket, must be installed.
- Consult Your Mechanic: If no head grinding has been done on your engine, installing this thick gasket will lower the engine's compression ratio and cause a loss of power. Be sure to confirm with your machinist whether they have ground the head before placing an order.
Specially imported for BMW's legendary E36 chassis with the rev-happy 16-valve M42 engines, the life-saving ELRİNG brand "1 Different Thickness" BMW E36 M42 Cylinder Head Gasket is now available! M42 engines love high performance, but even a small issue in the cooling system (hose burst, thermostat failure) can cause overheating and burn the gasket instantly. When the gasket burns, the aluminum cylinder head warps from the heat. When the machinist grinds this head to correct it (trims the surface), the volume of the head decreases. This new BMW E36 M42 Cylinder Head Gasket is the part that will bring that reduction back to factory specifications, filling the space left by the trimmed metal. Using a gasket of incorrect size or poor quality can lead to pistons hitting the valves, resulting in complete engine failure or the gasket blowing again at the first stress. To protect your vehicle from these dreadful expenses, you can assemble your engine with the original supplier (OEM) ELRİNG quality, ensuring zero-kilometer tolerances and maximum safety with this BMW E36 M42 Cylinder Head Gasket.
- Vital Compression Protection: Restores the combustion chamber volume reduced after head grinding back to original tolerances. A correctly sized BMW E36 M42 Cylinder Head Gasket prevents impact, maintaining the engine's idle and torque at factory values.
- ELRİNG Das Original Quality: Produced from a multi-layer structure that shows maximum resistance to high temperatures, combustion pressure, and antifreeze corrosion, meeting original BMW standards.
- Prevents Oil and Water Mixing: Perfectly separates the cooling water (antifreeze) around the cylinder sleeves from the oil channels, preventing the engine from mixing oil with water and vice versa.
- Perfect Sealing: Seals to the block millimetrically without the need for extra liquid gasket, simply by being tightened at the appropriate torque values.
