(1) These items are no longer available through BMW NA Parts Department. (2) Secures and seals bolts, studs, nuts, threaded inserts, screw plugs against impact and vibration. Fastens ball, roller and sliding bearings onto shafts or in housings, with play up to 0.25mm. Quick setting. Oil filter flange bolt-See S.I. Bulletin B 11 02 87. (3) Low viscosity, non-hardening, removable. For sealing off against mineral oils, grease, gases, air and many chemicals. Application: from -40°C to approx. 200 °C. Tacking cylinder gasket - See S.I. Bulletin B 11 02 88. (4) Universal sealing compound, applicable by brush. For sealing interfaces between surfaces that require excellent temperature resistance and sealing elasticity. Material: Polyester-urethane mixture. (5) Black cyanacrylate adhesive for joining metals, rubber, PVC. See S.I. Bulletin B 11 06 89. (6) Multi-purpose grease for all detachable joints at high temperatures and corrosive conditions, also after long operating periods. Able to withstand high pressures, protection against undesired weld contact, seizure and corrosion, active adhesion properties, effective as lubricant and separator up to 1100 °C. Applications: parts subject to high temperatures, such as bolts and flanges on exhaust system, engine, disk brakes, etc. (7) A black colored silicone-based sealant for large areas. Resists temperatures up to 250 °C. For engine or gearbox; particularly suitable for sealing the timing case on M70 engine, and eliminating oil seepage from E36 M42 cylinder head. See S.I. Bulletins B 11 07 90, B 11 02 88, B 11 09 93. (8) Fast acting cleaner for dirty engines and engine parts. Does not attack painted, rubber, or plastic parts. (9) Intake and vacuum system leak detector. See S.I. Bulletin B 11 03 92. (10) Repairs pitting in cylinder head sealing surfaces. See S.I. Bulletin B 11 10 93. (11) Thread lubricant for oxygen sensors.
