Head & Top End Gasket Set, Aftermarket - E36 325i 92, E34 525i 91-92 (M50 NON-VANOS)

Head gasket failure is a not uncommon M50 issue and it's something to take seriously. This head gasket set for M50 non-Vanos has all of the gaskets and seals associated with nearly any work done above the engine block, including head gasket replacement, intake manifold removal, 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!

Instead of buying just the head gasket (BMW part #11121726619) you can get all of the other gaskets and seals needed to complete the job. This M50 non-VANOS 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 system trouble on the M50 must be addressed quickly as the aluminum head is easily damaged if overheating occurs.

This part is manufactured by an aftermarket supplier of European auto parts, including many engine gaskets and sealants. While not carrying OEM status, this part follows the design of the original very closely and uses similar materials. An aftermarket part may even have the same TUV approval as its OEM counterpart. The brand may even be OEM to another manufacturer besides BMW. This aftermarket brand has a two year warranty - the same as Genuine BMW and OEM brands.

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