I'm gearing up to do my (1997) b230fk head gasket.
It might or might not be the same part for yours?
Elring may or may not be OEM?
I keep seeing this Elring part number (701.055) in a few places:

And, more cheaply:

I'm thinking PCV box clean or replace (seal needed), fit the metal heater valve I've got lying around, do the bosch crankshaft sensor. My car is LPG'd and I've had aggro from the three above (on previous 940 lpg), in part because lpg may run a tad hotter than petrol.
YMMV!
