Detailed Description

This Elring cylinder head gasket set is built for the listed BMW 325i, 325is, 525i, and 525iT applications from 1991 through 1995, with the fitment note indicating use from 10/1992 and a 2.04 mm thickness. The set is intended for cylinder head sealing work where the head, block, and valve train sealing surfaces need to be serviced together.

What It Helps Address

• Coolant loss from a compromised cylinder head seal
• Compression leakage between the head and block
• Oil seepage at the cylinder head sealing surfaces
• Valve stem seal wear during top-end engine service
• Repeat teardown caused by incomplete sealing during repair

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm engine code, production date, and gasket thickness before installation. The fitment notes specify 10/1992 and 2.04 mm, so verify the engine build details against the vehicle and cylinder head specification. Replace related sealing components during head service, and follow factory torque sequence, torque angle, and surface preparation procedures. Additional required article 802.740 is listed for this application.

Quality Assurance

Elring is a recognized sealing-system manufacturer for engine repair applications. Part number 444.370 is cataloged for the listed BMW fitments and should be matched to the vehicle’s engine specification before assembly.
