M54 Header Gasket with Heat Shield Kit

ALWAYS replace gaskets when replacing the exhaust headers.

This is the heat shield sealing the exhaust manifold/header to the cylinder head on M52TU, M54, and M56 engines used in E46, E39, E60, X3, X5, and Z4 models. Each heat shield covers 3 cylinders (one for each manifold) so order two for the complete set.
