BMW Cylinder Head Bolt Set - Corteco 11121721939

Product Information

An engine cylinder head bolt set is a collection of high-strength fasteners used to secure the cylinder head to the engine block. These bolts must withstand extreme pressure and temperature changes while maintaining a tight seal between the head gasket, cylinder head, and block. Proper installation and torquing of the head bolts are critical for preventing leaks, maintaining compression, and ensuring reliable engine performance.

• Coolant or oil leaks around the cylinder head due to a compromised seal.
• Engine overheating, often from head gasket failure caused by improper clamping force.
• Loss of compression or misfires, resulting from a loosened or stretched head bolt.

Originally founded in 1849 as a leather tannery Freudenburg started making seals in 1932 with the invention of the Simmerring®. This seal style quickly replaced felt seals as the new standard for radial shaft sealing rings for rotating shafts/assemblies. Freudenburg began engineering and manufacturing vibration control technology with shock absorbers and bushings in 1957. It was in that same year that Freudenburg partnered with an Italian seal manufacturer Corte & Cosso, creating the Corteco brand. Continuing their history of innovation, Corteco introduced Micronair cabin filters in 1989 and quickly became the market leader in cabin filtering technology.
