Detailed Description

What It Helps Fix

  • Oil leaks from worn crankshaft sealing surfaces
  • Loss of sealing integrity during engine conversion or rebuild work
  • Seepage from aged gaskets and seals in high-mileage engines
  • Repeat teardown caused by incomplete sealing replacement
  • Leak-related contamination around the engine assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm engine code, build date, and vehicle application before installation, especially on BMW 325i, 325is, and 525i models with the 09/1992 cutoff noted in the catalog data. Clean all gasket mating surfaces thoroughly and inspect sealing faces for wear, scoring, or distortion before assembly. Follow factory torque specifications and installation procedures for the engine being serviced.
