Designed for BMW’s M50-family 24-valve straight-six, this is a critical upgrade a hugely popular base for turbo and supercharger conversions, where cylinder pressures climb well beyond standard. Standard torque-to-yield fasteners stretch permanently and lose clamping load over time — ARP hardware restores and increases that clamping force, helping prevent head gasket failure, cap walk and fastener fatigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvailable options for this engine:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMultiple stud\/bolt sizing options (44 mm, 53 mm) to match your build\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied with ARP Ultra-Torque fastener assembly lubricant.
