The S54 engine has a known history of rod bearing failure, and if your engine is higher mileage, don't let this catastrophic failure happen to you. Replace your rod bearings and prevent a spun bearing which can trash your crankshaft. 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. Kit includes Upper and lower WPC treated rod bearings for extra protection against wear Hardware Oil filter Castrol TWS Edge Professional Oil pan gasket Oil pan cover gasket RedLine assembly lube Connecting rod bolts

BMW S54 VAC Performance Coated Rod Bearing Kit is highly regarded by BMW engine builders worldwide for its superior quality and performance. Ideal for both forced induction and naturally aspirated builds, these coated bearings are designed to be friction-resistant, reducing the risk of thermal breakdowns due to inadequate lubrication. This feature significantly decreases the chances of premature engine failure in street cars and minimizes the risk of spun bearings during high-stress track conditions.

The VAC Performance Coated Rod Bearing Kit is proven to help maintain engine reliability, even in situations with reduced oil pressure.

  • Enhanced Durability: Coated bearings are friction-resistant, reducing the risk of thermal breakdown.
  • Increased Reliability: Helps prevent premature engine failure and spun bearings under stress.
  • Versatile Performance: Suitable for both forced induction and naturally aspirated engine builds.
  • Proven Track Record: Tested by customers to ensure reliable performance even with oil pressure loss.

VAC Tech Notes:

  • Ensure proper tolerance and size checks before installation.
  • Professional installation is recommended due to specialized tools required.
  • Returns are not available on any engine bearings.
