11617528341 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.
