Exhaust Manifold Gasket

Model: BMW Serie 3 E36 - Years 1990-2001
Part: Engine

The exhaust manifold gasket is divided into three pieces, one for every two cylinders. Once you insert the gaskets onto the studs, slide the manifold into place and tighten the mounting nuts to the correct torque. The kit also includes gaskets to apply at the end of the manifold, which are triangular in shape, to which the exhaust pipe will be attached. These are metal gaskets since they come into contact with components that experience high thermal stress and must therefore be able to withstand such conditions without causing leaks.

Learn how to fit universal roof bars on a Fiat 500L. These bars are used on vehicles with or without roof rails. Assemble the roof bar kit (as shown in the video) with bars adjusted to the width of the vehicle (measure with a tape measure). Position the brackets at both ends of the doors on the vehicle's original roof rails. Once the anchoring bracket width is set, tighten the bolts with a butterfly nut (if a lock is present) until fully secured to the roof rails. Fit safety caps on both sides.
