Elring 019.321 Cylinder Head Gasket

The Elring 019.321 engine cylinder head gasket is a multilayer steel (MLS) sealing solution built for precise combustion sealing and stable clamping under heat and pressure. With an installed thickness of 1.55 mm and an 84.7 mm bore diameter, it is specified for BMW applications that require accurate piston protrusion matching.

Compatible with select BMW 420i Gran Coupe, 328d, 328d xDrive, 420i, X3, and X1 applications, this gasket is identified by part number 019.321 for direct catalog matching.

Key Features

• Multilayer steel (MLS) gasket design for durable cylinder head sealing
• Installed thickness: 1.55 mm
• Diameter: 84.7 mm
• Piston protrusion range: 0.92 mm to 1.03 mm
• Number of holes: 2
• OE-style fitment reference for BMW engine sealing service

Detailed Description

Elring 019.321 is an engine cylinder head gasket engineered around exact dimensional requirements rather than generic replacement sizing. The MLS construction supports consistent sealing across the combustion chamber, coolant passages, and oil passages, while the 1.55 mm installed thickness and 84.7 mm diameter help match the specified engine configuration. Use this gasket when servicing BMW engines that call for the listed piston protrusion range and bore dimensions. The part number 019.321 is also useful when cross-checking catalog listings for BMW 420i Gran Coupe, BMW 328d, BMW 328d xDrive, BMW 420i, BMW X3, and BMW X1 coverage.

This part cross-references Victor Reinz 61-38110-10 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Combustion leakage at the cylinder head interface
• Coolant seepage between the head and block
• Oil transfer caused by a worn head gasket seal
• Compression loss from a damaged or fatigued gasket
• Service replacement after cylinder head removal on BMW diesel and gasoline applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify piston protrusion before installation and confirm it falls within the 0.92 mm to 1.03 mm range. Match the gasket thickness and bore diameter to the engine specification, and inspect the cylinder head and block surfaces for flatness, corrosion, or residue before assembly. Clean sealing surfaces thoroughly and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque sequence and tightening procedure during reassembly. Confirm fitment by VIN and engine code when ordering Elring 019.321 for BMW 420i Gran Coupe, 328d, X3, or X1 service.
