Elevate your BMW S58 engines with the ARP Main Stud Kit, replacing part numbers 11118604584. These studs prevent main cap walk, ensuring stability and protecting the engine from potential damage. They also safeguard the engine block threads, adding an extra layer of protection. Opting for main studs over factory bolts requires engine builders to mic the bores. Studs may require a line hone for proper fitment and alignment, ensuring round and concentric main bearing bores, preventing premature bearing wear, and ensuring optimal oil clearance.

This Athena Cut Ring Head Gasket is specifically engineered to replace BMW part 11121316714 for the S14B20, S14B23, S14B25, S14B27 engines found in the E30 M3. Factory OEM & MLS head gaskets are only engineered to handle a limited amount of cylinder pressures before they start to leak, causing a range of issues, including engine overheating, loss of power, misfires, and in severe cases, catastrophic engine failure. Athena-SCE Cut Ring Head Gaskets are uniquely designed to handle increased cylinder pressure caused by power modifications, making them the recommended choice for applications making 16+ psi. Design: Athena-SCE's gasket body is composed of Motorgasket, a reinforced material developed by Athena's R&D department. This consists of a steel core covered with two layers of asbestos-free aramid fibre and offers excellent thermal and mechanical resistance without compromising its ability to adapt to mating surfaces. To ensure maximum sealing under all conditions, a silicone bead is also applied to critical sealing areas, such as oil and coolant passages. The AISI 304 stainless steel cooper rings bite into the aluminum head, providing maximum sealing around the cylinder bore and optimizing engine performance, even on engines with nitrous and/or turbo applications that exceed 2 bar boost.
