Product Description

This Arrowhead VVT actuator gasket is designed for reliable sealing in the engine VVT actuator system, helping to keep oil where it belongs and prevent leaks. It is a direct replacement for the gasket associated with part number 417240, ensuring compatibility with specific BMW models equipped with the N52 engine. Proper sealing in the VVT actuator is critical for maintaining the performance and efficiency of your engine's variable valve timing system.

Fitment for this gasket includes select BMW models, such as the E81, E87, E90, E60, E65, E85, and E86, all with the N52 engine. As fitment may vary depending on model, year, engine size, and engine code, it is essential to confirm these details before ordering to ensure proper compatibility and avoid installation issues.

Symptoms of a worn or damaged VVT actuator gasket can include visible oil leaks near the actuator, engine misfires, rough idling, reduced engine performance, increased oil consumption, and the appearance of warning lights related to the engine or VVT system. You may also notice a burning oil smell or unusual noises from the engine bay.

Replace the VVT actuator gasket if you notice oil seepage, gasket damage during maintenance, or experience any of the above symptoms. Timely replacement helps prevent oil leaks, which can affect the VVT actuator's function and overall engine health.
