Top-End Gasket Set, Elring - F10 550i, F13 650i, F02 750i, E70 X5, E71 X6

Head gasket failure is a not uncommon N63 issue and it's something to take seriously. This head gasket set for 2011-2013 550i, 2012 650i, 2009-2012 750i, 2011-2013 X5 50i, and 2008-2013 X6 50i has all of the gaskets and seals associated with nearly any work done above the engine block, including head gasket replacement, valve stem seals, turbo manifold removal, VANOS/Valvetronic and camshaft work, timing chain guides, and more. It's good planning to have a top-end and bottom-end gasket on hand in your garage because you never know when you need a gasket in a pinch. Gasket sets are like having your very own BMW parts department at your finger tips!

The head gasket is sold separately (see below). Head gaskets are available in more than one thickness to account for a shaved or milled cylinder head. Use a stock thickness if you are not shaving the head.

Instead of buying just the head gasket (BMW part #11127567765) you can get all of the other gaskets and seals needed to complete the job. This N63 top end gasket set includes:

Additional parts such as the head gasket, head bolts, other hardware, and sensors are sold separately (see below).

Symptoms of head gasket failure include: white residue (tapioca) in the valve cover, under the oil filler cap, and in drained oil, low coolant (not caused by failure in cooling system), low oil, oil leak onto exhaust manifold, and loss of power from loss of compression. Cooling or oil system trouble on the N63 must be addressed quickly as the aluminum head and/or turbos are easily damaged if overheating occurs.

This is an OEM head gasket set manufactured by Elring - one of the original suppliers to BMW for these gaskets, as well as many other gaskets and seals. As the OEM it meets all of BMW's original design, fitment, and performance requirements and is TUV approved. OEM parts are the best alternative to more expensive Original BMW parts because they are virtually identical without the inflated price tag. These parts have a two year warranty.
