Virtually every top professional BMW engine builder relies on ARP Pro Series head studs. ARP uses a premium grade 8740 alloy that is rated far superior to "aircraft" quality. Each stud is heat-treated to 200,000 psi, ensuring complete heat penetration. ARP studs are threaded after heat-treat, which gives them 1000% (that's ten times!) better fatigue strength than studs threaded prior to heat-treat. Threading the studs after heat-treating is more difficult and costly (as it's harder on tooling) but the results are well worth the effort. These simply are the best head studs we've found for the E36 6 cylinder engines, and we highly recommend them in both the racing and forced induction arena. (Due to the additional clamping force between the head and block, these are IDEAL for turbo charging and supercharging!)

Converting from the factory BMW head bolts to head studs makes it much easier to assemble an engine, especially a racing powerplant which must be serviced frequently (and quickly!), and also ensures proper alignment of the head and gasket. Head studs also provide more accurate and consistent torque loading. Here's why: When you use bolts to secure the head, the fastener is actually being "twisted" while it's being torqued to the proper reading. Accordingly, the bolt is reacting to two different forces simultaneously. A head stud should be installed in a "relaxed" mode -- never crank it in tightly using a jammed nut. If everything is right, the stud should be installed finger tight. Then, when applying torque to the nut, the stud will stretch only on the vertical axis. An information sheet is provided with each set. Kit includes everything pictured -- 14 head bolts, washers, bolts and assembly lubricant.

ARP is a company that prides itself on performance and durability, no matter the application. Offering the finest engine hardware money can buy is the driving initiative at ARP and this is evidenced by the staggering amount of satisfied customers and race teams the world over.

These head studs fit the following BMWs/engines (steel block only)
1992-1995 M50 6 cylinder including 325i, 325is and 525i
1996-1999 M52 6 cylinder including 328i, 328is, 323is, 528i
1995-1995 S50US 3.0 liter including 1995 M3 (US only)
1996-1999 S52US 3.2 liter including 1996-1999 M3 (US) and MZ3

Includes a full set of polyacrylic intake and viton exhaust valve stem seals! Looking to replace your valve stem seals due to leaks, cracks, splits, or even during an upgrade of your camshafts, valve springs, or valves? Supertech valve stem seals are the way to go! This cheap but effective seal replaces the stock BMW seals that are notoriously prone to issues due to heat cycles and chemicals which cause the seals to become weak and brittle. Supertech seals offer a significantly longer life span and are resistant to both heat and chemicals thanks to their use of Viton or Polyacrylic construction (dependant on valve type). That means less time in the garage and more time on the street or track! These seals are also great for anyone who is looking to upgrade to dual valve springs thanks to the seal's overall thinner outer diameter! Guide OD: 8.8mm/.347" Seal OD: 12.2mm/.480"

This ARP main stud set for the 24 valves M50-based 6 cylinder engines (including M50, M52, S50US and S52US) and eliminates main cap walk and fretting, as well as protects the threads in your engine block. Each stud is made using the best materials, process, design and engineering, which exceeds even the most stringent racing and aerospace specifications. This main stud kit includes aerospace quality nuts. The studs are manufactured from 8740 chrome moly steel, heat-treated in-house to 190,000 psi tensile strength, and precision J-form threads rolled after heat-treat to create a fastener that has threads 1000% stronger than others. On the E30 M3, there's no reason to settle for anything less than the best, which is why we carry and use ARP fasteners and studs on our own BMW race cars. ARP is a company that prides itself on performance and durability, no matter the application. Offering the finest engine hardware money can buy is the driving initiative at ARP and this is evidenced by the staggering amount of satisfied customers and race teams the world over. *Does not include washers*

Set of 12 ProSeries connecting rod bolts, made by ARP -- the world leader in fastener technology. Each bolt is made of ARP2000 material, which exceeds the strength of 8740 Chrome Moly, and is able to achieve clamp load at 220,000psi. ARP2000 fasteners are used widely in motorsport and drag racing as an upgrade from 8740 Chrome Moly in both steel and aluminum rods. These are simply the best connecting rod bolts available, making them ideal for ultra high performance, racing and forced induction applications.

This set replaces the factory BMW rod bolt number 11-24-1-739-728 (11241739728) which measures 44mm in length. The 44mm BMW rod bolt was used on all US spec E36 M3 (3.0 and 3.2 liter), 1999-2000 E46 323i/323Ci, 2001-2005 325i/325Ci, Z3 1.9,2.5 and 3.2, as well as Z4 2.5. It was also used on SOME of the M50 2.5 liter engines from 1992-1995 -- but check before ordering! Opened ARP bolt kits are not returnable. If your M50 2.5 liter engine has 53mm rod bolts, you will require kit part# 201-6301 instead.

ARP is a company that prides itself on performance and durability, no matter the application. Offering the finest engine hardware money can buy is the driving initiative at ARP and this is evidenced by the staggering amount of satisfied customers and race teams the world over.

These WPC-treated bearings are the best we have seen! WPC is a shot-peening treatment at a microscopic level. It's perfect for sensitive surfaces like bearings. The WPC treatment removes imperfections and high spots, while creating a surface that retains oil better than the original surface. This greatly reduces friction. The bearings in this kit are original equipment KS bearings that are sent to WPC for treatment. The treated bearings are stronger with less metal fatigue and less friction than buying off-the-shelf bearings from the dealer.

This item fits the following BMWs:

What's better than using new crank bearings in your next engine build? WPC-treated bearings! What is WPC, you ask? WPC is a surface treatment that reduces friction and adds strength - two improvements that benefit internal engine components. Ultra-fine particles are fired at the surface at very high speeds, like shot-peening - but much, much smaller. The parts come out smoother and stronger due to thermal discharge. The two largest enemies of any high-performance engine are heat and friction - and WPC has found a way to reduce both. What are you waiting for? Use WPC-treated bearings on your next engine build or crank service!

Achilles Motorsports uses an extremely hi-tech Dry Film Lubricating process that will keep friction to a minimum allowing your engine to rev faster without worry while keeping oil temperature lower. Perfect for high-performance street, sprint, or endurance racing engines, this specialized coating protects vital engine bearings on dry engine starts and during extreme temperatures and high RPM operation. This specialized coating is the same process that is the choice of professional engine builders around the world, used on all NASCAR, ALMS, and Grand-Am engines. Achilles' bearings provide increased insurance against mechanical thermal breakdown compared to the OEM type bearing, showing much less wear during routine inspections. Note For high-performance and racing engines, we strongly recommend upgrading the OEM type connecting rod bolts to an ARP Connecting Rod Bolt Set to keep your bearing and caps tight even under the most extreme conditions, eliminating potential walk and bearing problems. As with all racing and performance bearings, professional installation is required. Please check all clearances as per the manufactures specifications.

Upgraded valves designed for high horsepower applications! Our valves are not finished from generic blanks rather they are specifically designed for each and every application. We work relentlessly, testing and researching every aspect trying to improve the air flow of our designs. With every valve design, we strive to maximize durability through higher fatigue resistance and tensile strength. Each valve tip is hardened beyond 52HRc. It’s unlikely you will find any of our competitor’s valves with stricter dimensional tolerances than our Supertech valves. Combine that with finished seats with equally strict run out tolerances and you won’t find a better sealing, better performing and easier to install solution anywhere! Optimum high flow rates are achieved by ensuring that our valves are manufactured with the best angles for each application. We consider back cut, under cut and valve head angles for each application to produce the optimum high flow rates for each application. In 2006 we introduced our stem Superfinishing as a standard addition to all of our valves at no additional cost. When our Superfinish is combined with our Black Nitrided valve, it reduces the surface roughness to 1/3 of our chrome coated valve. The end result… unsurpassed performance and durability. Our intake valves are made exclusively from an enhanced versions of EV8 (21-4N) steel. Black Nitride Coating: This is a hardening treatment that has been steadily growing in popularity over the last several years. These black Nitride coated valves feature harder surfaces and smoother finishes, providing less friction and subsequently longer life. Please see below for more benefits of our Black Nitride valves.

Generally, an intake valve is the name for a valve that allows air or fluid to pass through it, typically during the intake phase of an engine's operation. In your car, the intake valves allow an air and fuel mixture into the engine's cylinders where it can then be compressed. The valves shut during the compression phase and the spark plug ignites the air and fuel mixture, creating a force that propels the car forward. If these valves aren’t working properly, the engine will create less power and it can damage the engine over time.

The exhaust valves in your vehicle allow the exhaust port to be sealed during the combustion process, so that the engine can run at top efficiency. If the timing belt or lifter breaks, this can cause the piston to come in contact with the valve and bend or break it, causing an improper seal. This will cause a rough idle, misfires, and a check engine light condition. Be sure to replace your bent or broken valve today and keep your engine running strong.

One major hurdle for a track-only car is the limitation of the hydraulic valve lifters in the M50, S50-US, M52, S52-US, M52TU, and M54 engines. These effectively limit your revs to 7200-7300 RPM as the valves 'float' at higher revs, leading to piston-valve contact. By converting to a machined solid lifter, and upgrading other areas of the engine, you can configure the valve train to withstand high RPM running. Not only can you tune for more power, you can help prevent damage during a mild mechanical over-rev.

This kit includes the mechanical spacers to convert hydraulic lifter tappets to solid lifters. The lifter bucket remains in place with the Schrick solid tappet replacing the original. These work on all M50, M52, S50, S52 and M54 engines and were proven in normally aspirated as well as supercharged engines. A custom camshaft is required.

Professional installation and setup is mandatory as these require complete assembly of the head, checking valve lash, then dis-assembly and machining of the Schrick tappet to spec. This kit includes enough spacers for 24 valves. We also carry individual parts, if you are looking for single pieces. This price is for a full set of 24.

For the US E36 M3. Schrick 264/256 degree camshafts boost mid-high end power for that extra motivation at higher rpm. Low-end torque is not seriously affected due to the M50/M52s VAN0S System. And, higher profile cams work extremely well with an upgraded intake and exhaust. When upgrading the cams there are other areas you must take into consideration. Higher-flow fuel injectors, larger mass-air sensor, and custom programming are strongly recommended. Turner Motorsport sells complete intake & cam packages that boost power to over 290hp. See the Engine section under Camshafts for more info.
