Detailed Product Information

Victor Reinz 61-10208-00 is a cylinder head gasket designed for BMW engines that require accurate sealing across the combustion chamber and fluid passages. The MLS design helps maintain sealing integrity under repeated heat cycles and high cylinder pressure, while the material selection supports resistance to oil, coolant, fuel, and antifreeze. This part cross-references Four Seasons 55078 for the same application.

Common Problems This Gasket Addresses

• Head gasket leaks between the cylinder head and engine block
• Coolant loss from sealing failure around water passages
• Oil seepage into combustion or coolant passages
• Compression loss that can affect engine performance
• Seal breakdown from heat cycling and combustion pressure

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the cylinder head and block surfaces before installation and confirm they are clean, flat, and free of old gasket material. Verify the gasket orientation and match the bore diameter and thickness to the engine specification before assembly. Because gasket sealant is not included, follow the engine manufacturer’s service procedure for any required sealant or torque sequence.

Quality Assurance

Victor Reinz gaskets are engineered with OE-proven sealing standards and materials selected for demanding engine environments. The 61-10208-00 part number is used for the listed BMW applications and is built to handle high combustion pressure and temperature variation in service.
