BMW Valve Cover Gasket Set - Reinz 11127587804

Product Information

This aftermarket valve cover gasket set from Rein includes the main valve cover gasket along with the plug slot insert seal, making it a complete solution for resealing your BMW’s cylinder head. If you're experiencing visible oil seepage near the valve cover or a burning oil smell while driving, it’s likely due to a worn or brittle gasket that can no longer maintain a proper seal.

Engine Valve Cover Gasket Set
The gasket seals the interface between the valve cover and the top of the cylinder head, keeping engine oil and vapors contained. Made from durable elastomer compounds, the gasket is designed to remain pliable under temperature changes and mechanical stress. Proper installation and torque application are key to preventing leaks.

Common Valve Cover Gasket Failure Symptoms:

• Age: Old rubber becomes hard and brittle, leading to oil leaks
• Physical damage: Over-tightening or poor installation can damage the gasket
• Chemical incompatibility: Some sealants may degrade gasket material
• Visible leaks: Oil streaking down from the valve cover or pooling in the engine bay
• Mysterious residue: Oil may accumulate in odd places due to airflow and heat
• Air/fuel issues: Vacuum leaks from failed gaskets can trigger fault codes or rough running
• Burning oil smell: Oil dripping on hot components like the exhaust manifold produces a strong odor
