BMW 3 Series E36 M43 Upper Gasket Set | ELRING 495.800
BMW E36 M43 Upper Gasket Set ELRING (Cylinder Head and Valve Set)
ELRING 495.800 | Original German Quality | Solution for Overheating and Oil Leaks
- Standard Thickness Gasket: When purchasing a BMW E36 M43 Upper Gasket Set, please remember that the included cylinder head gasket is "Standard" (factory thickness). If your engine has experienced severe overheating and your cylinder head has been excessively machined at the machine shop, a standard gasket may not suffice, and "1 or 2 different thickness" gaskets may be required. Please confirm with your machinist before ordering.
- Complete Revision Requirement: When the engine upper cover is removed, valve seals, intake/exhaust manifold gaskets, and rocker cover gaskets should also be replaced. Simply changing the cylinder head gasket can lead to oil consumption and leaks in the future. This BMW E36 M43 Upper Gasket Set includes all the sealing components necessary to completely reassemble the upper cover.
Imported specifically for BMW's legendary E36 chassis with 4-cylinder (M43) engines, the ELRING brand BMW E36 M43 Upper Gasket Set is here to solve overheating and oil consumption crises at their root! M43 engines can overheat over time due to minor failures in the cooling system or hose bursts. An overheated engine can warp the cylinder head, burn the gasket, and lead to compression loss, mixing oil with water or water with oil (emulsification). A burnt old BMW E36 M43 Upper Gasket Set that causes white smoke from the exhaust and coolant loss is clear evidence that your engine is on the brink of failure. When removing the upper cover, you should reassemble the engine not with makeshift silicones from the market but with this brand new BMW E36 M43 Upper Gasket Set produced with the quality of "Das Original" ELRING, the original supplier of German automotive giants. This complete set includes a cylinder head gasket, rocker (rocker cover) gasket, intake and exhaust manifold gaskets, and valve seals, restoring your engine's sealing and compression to zero-kilometer standards.
- Vital Compression Protection: A brand new BMW E36 M43 Upper Gasket Set instantly eliminates compression leaks. By perfectly sealing the combustion chamber, it prevents torque loss and restores the vehicle's traction to its former power.
- Prevents Fluid Mixing: It effectively separates the antifreeze (water) channels from the oil channels. It completely resolves the sludge-like oil contamination (emulsification) issue that occurs in the radiator after overheating.
- ELRING Das Original Quality: Manufactured from multi-layer steel/paper materials that show maximum resistance against high combustion pressure and antifreeze corrosion, in original BMW standards.
- Complete Set: All necessary o-rings, manifold gaskets, and valve seals (gaskets) required to fully revise the engine upper cover (cylinder head) are included in the set.
