Product Details

Our High-Performance Rod Bearing Kit for the BMW M54 engine is engineered as a superior upgrade to factory OEM bearings. Designed to address the common shortcomings of stock bearings, our kit includes Calico-coated rod bearings, ARP connecting rod bolts, and ARP assembly lubricant—providing a complete solution for connecting rod maintenance.

Kit Contents:

• Calico-Coated Rod Bearings
• ARP Connecting Rod Bolts
• ARP Assembly Lubricant
• Installation Sheet

These Calico-coated bearings feature advanced anti-friction technology, ensuring consistent lubrication even under high-stress conditions. This makes them ideal for both high-performance engines and street vehicles, offering reliable performance and protection against bearing-related failures, such as spun rod bearings—especially during cold starts.

In addition to reduced friction, these coated bearings provide excellent thermal resistance, which is crucial for engines subjected to forced induction or racing. This thermal resilience also acts as a safety net, reducing the risk of engine failure in situations involving oil pressure loss.

With a proven track record of extended durability and superior performance, the 5150 AutoSport rod bearing kit offers an unmatched level of reliability compared to standard OEM bearings, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to protect and enhance their BMW M54 engine.

Tech Notes:

• Just as with any bearings, it's crucial to verify tolerances and dimensions prior to installation.
• Given the specialized tools necessary, we strongly recommend seeking professional installation.
• There are no returns available on any engine bearings.
