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.

5150 High-Performance Coated Rod Bearing Sets are made for the demands of high-performance engine builds. Treated shells and coated by Calico to reduce friction, these bearings allow your engine to generate more power and resist "spinning" under stress. These coated bearings also have thermal resistant properties that not only perform in high HP applications like forced induction or race use, but also help prevent sudden engine failure in the event of oil pressure loss. 5150 bearings have proven themselves on and off the track, lasting longer and outperforming other bearings on the market. Tech Notes: As with all bearings, please check your tolerances and size before installation. Due to the specialized tools needed, professional install recommended.
