Rebuilding your engine or giving your cylinder head an overhaul? Internal engine components covers parts that are located within the engine block and cylinder head. Examples include: timing chains and tensioners, rocker arms, rod bolts and studs, head bolts, valve springs, connecting rods, and more. These are Genuine BMW engine parts, performance upgrades, or approved aftermarket brands that have a long track record of reliability and quality.
NEW & REVISED!!! ARP has released a new version of their race-grade M3 connecting rod bolts and its better than ever before. If you're replacing your rod bearings these rod bolts are far superior to standard the OE BMW fasteners in terms of durability and ability to withstand stresses. This set of rod bolts is made specifically for the S65 4.0 liter V8, as found in the 2008-2013 M3 and replaces the previous ARP kit part number RBK_S65.

VAC's S65 bearings are embraced by BMW engine builders world wide. Popular for both forced induction and N/A builds, their coated bearings are "friction resistant" making thermal breakdowns that can occur due to lack of lubrication a much less common occurrence. Helping to prevent premature engine failures on street cars, and spun bearings under stress at the track when things are most critical.

ARP uses a premium grade 8740 alloy that is rated far superior to "aircraft" quality. Each stud is heat-treated, ensuring complete heat penetration, to increase the clamping load up to 200,000 psi. 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 and we highly recommend them in both racing and forced induction applications. Due to the additional clamping force between the head and block, these are IDEAL for turbocharged engines.
