BMW Timing Cover Gasket - Reinz 11141433306

Product Information

The engine timing cover gasket is a seal that sits between the engine's timing cover and the engine block or cylinder head. The timing cover protects the timing chain or timing belt, which controls the synchronization of the engine's valves and pistons. The gaskets seal off the cover from the engine preventing debris from entering the timing system and extending the life of the timing components like belts, chains, and tensioners. In certain systems, gaskets on the timing cover will prevent oil from leaking out of the engine and interfering with timing components.

• Increased Noise (NVH): Damaged gaskets will expose the timing components to the elements and cause excessive noise and premature failure.
• Oil Leaks: The most common sign of a failing timing cover gasket is oil leaking from the engine onto timing components in certain systems.

About Reinz

Founded by Hugo Reinz in 1920, Reinz has been known for the manufacturing of Automotive gaskets for over 90 years. For almost a century Reinz has provided gaskets and sealing products for both auto manufacturers and as an aftermarket solution for car enthusiasts. Their full catalog features over 15,000 different products, providing a great selection for excellent value. Way back in 1962 Reinz became the (OEM) original equipment manufacturer for the prestigious Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen car companies, a strong partnership that still continues to this day. The company continues to innovate and stay well ahead of the curve. For example, Reinz stopped using asbestos in their gaskets 12 years before it was banned in Germany in 1993. Reinz performs because every part they manufacture meets OEM standards – meaning you're getting great value that you can believe in. Many brands and models use sealing solutions from Reinz. In 1993 Reinx became a partner to the American company, Dana, to form the largest manufactures of components for automobile and commercial vehicles. The Gasket segment of Dana was Victor at the time ahich was then merged with Reinz to form the brand name of "Victor Reinz".
