Restore a clean, sealed engine top end with the Victor Reinz 71-28940-00 spark plug cover gasket. This gasket is built for BMW 320i applications and is designed to help keep oil and oil spray contained around the valve cover area, where heat from nearby exhaust components can challenge sealing performance.

Key Features

  • Engineered to seal oil and oil spray at the valve cover area
  • Built to handle elevated temperatures near exhaust manifolds, exhaust crossovers, and EGR systems
  • Victor Reinz sealing technology focused on stable, reliable engine sealing
  • Part number 71-28940-00 for easy identification

Detailed Description

Victor Reinz 71-28940-00 is a spark plug cover gasket made for select BMW 320i vehicles, including 1992 BMW 320i from 10/1992, 1993-1994 BMW 320i, and 1995 BMW 320i to 09/1995. It is designed to maintain a tight seal in a high-heat engine environment, helping reduce oil seepage around the valve cover and spark plug cover area. The 71-28940-00 part number is also useful when cross-checking service records or ordering replacement sealing components for BMW 320i maintenance.

This part cross-references Elring 827.312 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Oil residue around the valve cover or spark plug cover area
  • Oil drops forming under the vehicle from upper-engine seepage
  • Heat-related gasket hardening or sealing loss
  • Maintenance issues tied to worn BMW 320i engine seals
  • Repeat leaks after prior gasket service

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the valve cover and mating surfaces before installation, and clean away old gasket material, oil, and debris. Verify the BMW 320i model year and production date before ordering, since this gasket applies to 1992 from 10/1992, 1993-1994, and 1995 to 09/1995 vehicles. Confirm the part number 71-28940-00 against the removed gasket or service documentation for accurate replacement.

Quality Assurance

Victor Reinz is known for sealing components engineered for demanding engine environments. This gasket uses materials and design features intended to maintain sealing performance under heat and pressure, with compression-limiter design used where applicable to reduce over-torquing and gasket damage.
