Head & Top End Gasket Set, BMW - E39 M5, Z8 (S62)

This head gasket set for E39 M5 and E52 Z8 Roadster has all of the gaskets and seals associated with nearly any work done above the engine block, including head gasket replacement, intake manifold removal, VANOS and camshaft work, 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 #11127833733 and 11127833734) you can get all of the other gaskets and seals needed to complete the job. This S62 top end gasket set includes:

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 system trouble on the S62 must be addressed quickly as the aluminum head is easily damaged if overheating occurs.

This is a Genuine BMW S62 head gasket set with a two year warranty. Buying a Genuine part will usually be more expensive than an OEM or aftermarket brand but you are assured that it meets BMW's designs for fitment, performance, and longevity. It will also be the very latest design, incorporating any updates or revisions that an aftermarket brand typically will ignore.

Because this kit fits multiple models it may include duplicate or redundant parts.
