11427508971 BMW GASKET

These gaskets basically fill the gaps between two parts, usually metal, to create a tight seal. They're shaped – the ‘profile’ part of the name – to match the surfaces they're going between. They stop fluids – oil, coolant, sometimes even air – from leaking out. They compress when you tighten everything down, and that compression is what makes the seal. You'll find these used in a lot of different places on an engine, and even outside of it sometimes. Anywhere two parts meet that need to stay sealed, a profile gasket could be there. Think valve covers, intake manifolds, oil pans… places where you absolutely don’t want anything leaking. It’s a pretty versatile little part. Well, leaks are obviously bad. Even a small leak can cause a lot of trouble. It can lead to overheating, loss of oil which damages the engine, or just generally reduce performance. These gaskets aren’t expensive, but they act like a shield, protecting more costly components. You’ll notice if one fails, usually because you’ll see a puddle, smell something burning, or the engine might start running rough. Fixparts Online carries a lot of these, and getting a new one is a lot cheaper and easier than dealing with the damage a leak can cause. They're one of those parts where it's really best to replace them any time you're disassembling something, even if the old one looks okay. Prevention is key. Drive with confidence: Profile Gasket (MPN 11427508971) is backed by a 12-month warranty!
