When refreshing or rebuilding your high-performance BMW N55 engine, sacrificing seal integrity is not an option. This Elring multi-layer steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket is designed to meet strict factory standards, delivering a precise seal for your 3.0-liter twin-scroll turbo inline-six. If your cylinder head overhaul requires milling or resurfacing to correct warpage, this +0.3mm oversized repair-stage gasket is an absolute necessity. Measuring at 1.42mm thick, it perfectly offsets the shaved cylinder head material, preserving your critical valve-to-piston clearances and preventing a dangerous spike in compression. Built to withstand the rigorous demands of hard driving and forced induction, this 5-layer steel gasket is a direct premium replacement that ensures your N55 remains reliable, leak-free, and ready for the track.
