These Schrick camshafts are the same specs as the stock US S50 cams -
Intake: 252 degree, 10.2mm lift
Exhaust: 244 degree, 9.5mm lift

With original S50/S52 cams in short supply, and a new set running over $2,000 from BMW, you can source new M3-spec cams from Schrick. These are the same specs as the US S50 engine and very close to the stock S52 cams. These make a great upgrade for M50 (325i, 525i) and M52 engines (328i, 528i) with the proper tuning. These bolt in just like the stock and M3 cams with no special hardware upgrades required - use your stock valve springs, lifters, etc. But for reliability we recommend replacing the lifters, valve springs, and retainers with new stock parts on high mileage engines.

This ARP Main Stud Kit is designed to replace BMW 11111735525 for the M50/M52/S50/S52 engines that were used in a variety of BMW models. One significant advantage of these main studs is their ability to prevent main cap walk, which can occur when the main caps shift or move out of position, potentially causing damage to the engine. In addition, ARP Main Studs can safeguard the threads of your engine block, providing an extra layer of protection against potential damage. When opting for main studs instead of factory bolts, it's important to note that the engine builder should mic the bores. Using studs may require a line hone to ensure proper fitment and alignment. A line hone is a machining process that can be used to resize and reshape the main bearing bores, ensuring that they are perfectly round and concentric. This is crucial for ensuring proper oil clearance and preventing premature bearing wear. By mic'ing the bores and performing a line hone if necessary, engine builders can ensure that the main studs are installed correctly and that the engine will perform reliably and at its best. Installation Instructions: To ensure accurate torque readings and proper thread engagement, thoroughly clean all threads in the engine block. If necessary, use an ARP chaser to chase the threads. Before installing any hardware, carefully inspect and clean it for defects, shipping damage, and proper fit, length, and dimension. Gently screw the main studs into the engine block by hand until they are snug. Install the main caps, checking for any binding or misalignment. Apply ARP Ultra-torque fastener assembly lubricant to the threads of the studs, nuts, and washers. Install the washers and nuts onto the studs and tighten them by hand. It is highly recommended to use the ARP Ultra-torque fastener assembly lubricant provided with the kit, as it provides consistent clamping force and reduces friction on the studs. Do not use motor oil or other low-quality lubricants. PRELOAD (TORQUE) RECOMMENDATIONS 7. Following the manufacturer-recommended torque sequence tighten the nuts in steps 1-3 Step 1: Tighten to 20 ft-lbs. Step 2: Tighten to 40 ft-lbs. Step 3: Tighten to 60 ft-lbs. With the included ARP Ultra-Torque fastener assembly lubricant

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"

Bore Size: 87.0mm This refers to the diameter of each piston, slightly larger than the stock bore (which is typically 86.4mm). The increase in bore size slightly raises displacement and allows for better airflow and combustion, improving power potential. Dome Volume: -10.10cc The negative dome volume indicates that the piston has a dish shape, rather than a positive dome. This affects the engine's compression ratio and helps with fine-tuning cylinder pressures. A dished piston like this allows for higher performance at high RPM, while maintaining stability. Compression Ratio: 11.50:1 This high compression ratio is ideal for naturally aspirated performance applications, offering more power output by increasing the efficiency of the combustion process. A higher compression ratio helps the engine generate more horsepower and torque from the same displacement. Material: Forged aluminum JE Pistons are known for their high-quality forged aluminum construction. This offers better strength and durability under high stress and heat, making them suitable for high-performance and racing applications. Application: BMW S50B32 (Euro-Spec E36 M3) This kit is specific to the Euro version of the S50 engine, which differs slightly from the US-spec version in terms of displacement, power output, and other engine characteristics.
