Often called main bearings, crankshaft bearing shells sit between the rotating assembly and the engine block. They allow the crankshaft to rotate freely, but are prone to wear from deterioration and lack of lubrication.

This complete set consists of nine bearings, enough to fill each journal.

If you're overhauling your M10, choose Hella crankshaft-bearing shells for a lasting solution.

Elevate your engine's performance with a choice of compression ratios that suit your needs. Opt for stock compression when conducting a basic engine rebuild or for low boost turbo or supercharger applications. If you plan to run high-performance camshafts, added compression can significantly enhance your engine's capabilities. On the other hand, if you're aiming for a big boost turbo setup, low compression is the way to go. CP and this distributor have collaborated closely to bring you the finest pistons for your high-performance or racing engine. These pistons are meticulously crafted to meet the most rigorous standards and are unrivaled in quality. Piston Specifications: BORE: 84.5mm Rod Length: 135mm Compression Ratio: 8.8:1
