Detailed Description

The Victor Reinz 71-34787-00 engine valve cover gasket set is made for Mini Cooper engines that require a reliable seal at the valve cover. Victor Reinz focuses on sealing technology that addresses the heat and stress found in modern engine bays, where exhaust manifolds, cylinder head crossovers, and EGR systems can raise temperatures around the gasket area. The molded rubber material helps maintain a stable seal, while the one-piece layout supports straightforward alignment during service. This part number, 71-34787-00, is listed for Mini Cooper models without Spark Plug Tube Seals in the applications shown.

This part cross-references Elring 485.910 and MAHLE VS50381S for the same application.
