It is a well-known issue on the BMW N54/55 platforms that your serpentine belt can fail for various reasons. When this happens, there is a high chance of the belt getting sucked behind the front damper pulley and then being pushed past the crank seal into your oil pan. From there it can get sucked into the oil pick up causing total engine failure. Even if you do not lose the engine, it is a COSTLY repair to remove the sub-frame and drop the oil pan to remove the belt. The best way to combat this is to watch for oil leaks and keep up on your maintenance. BUT, even with those preventative measures, pre-mature belt failure can occur. This crank seal guard installs over your front crank seal and will keep the belt from being sucked in if a belt failure does occur. This is a cheap way to ensure you do not end up having to replace your motor from oil starvation due to an ingested belt. Vargas' seal is different from those already on market in two major ways. Firstly, it is not offensively priced. Secondly, it is 100% billet with no welds on the tabs to break, no cheap bent thin steel pieces. 100% Billet 6061-T6 aluminum, anodized black for long-term corrosion resistance. Crank Seal Guard includes: One VTT Billet N54/55 Crank Seal Guard Two extended 12.9 Grade bolts, and two stainless washers We highly recommend you install WITH a crank bolt capture at the same time, as you have to remove the damper anyway. Then you will get the benefit of helping eliminate the dreaded spun crank hub and the crank seal issue

If you're grappling with issues like crankshaft failures and oil pump breakdowns in your BMW 6-cylinder engines, you're not alone. Even seasoned mechanics can overlook the critical aspect of harmonic resonance control in these inline-6 motors, despite their optimal configuration.

Enter ATI Performance Products in collaboration with VAC Motorsports, presenting a solution in the form of new dampers tailored for BMW 2.5L, 2.8L, 3.0L, and 3.2L straight-6 engines found in various models like the E36 and E46 M3, E9X, and E6X, as well as newer Z3s and Z4s. These dampers effectively nullify crankshaft harmonic vibrations, paving the way for enhanced horsepower and torque output, alongside a reduction in internal engine wear. Say goodbye to issues like fractured oil pumps and timing chain mishaps! By pairing these dampers with a VAC accessory pulley, you seamlessly replace the OEM balancer. Featuring a 7” outer diameter and OEM-style timing alignment tabs, these ATI Super Dampers boast SFI 18.1 Safety Certification, ensuring they're competition-ready.

What sets the ATI SuperDamper apart? It's the remedy for vibration woes in inline 6 engines, especially those equipped with lightweight clutch and flywheel setups. Expect diminished wear on bearings, engine accessories, and oil pumps, all while being compatible with underdrive pulleys.

Included in the kit are the damper itself, a lightweight VAC Billet Crankshaft Pulley, along with all necessary mounting and installation hardware. Note that it's not compatible with S50B30 & S50B32 Euro Engines. For street/track vehicles with air conditioning, opting for the Additional A/C Pulley Option is imperative, given that the OE A/C pulley isn't compatible. Rest assured, all required mounting and installation hardware is included, and the entire package is proudly Made in the USA.

NOTE: Due to space limitations, the design of this damper will overdrive your components (water pump, power steering, and alternator) by approximately 10-13%; we highly recommend using underdrive pulleys in your setup Controlling the harmonic resonance of the BMW S14 engine is highly important as RPMs rise, but the ideal configuration of the 4-cylinder motor makes even the most experienced engine builders overlook some fundamental principles of engine harmonics that can be destructive. Harmonics destroy these motors by causing extensive oil pump and crankshaft damage, but the addition of VAC’s Harmonic Damper eliminates the unstable crankshaft harmonic vibrations that cause internal engine wear. By eliminating harmonic vibrations, your S14 engine will be able to produce more horsepower and torque with increased reliability. The VAC/ATI Harmonic Damper is made with an integral pulley, eliminating the need for the additional pulley other models require. Exceeds SFI 18.1 Safety Certification Eliminates problems with lightweight clutch and flywheel assemblies Controls destructive harmonic forces Reduces instances of bearing wear, accessory failure and oil pump failure Includes lightweight VAC Billet Crankshaft Pulley Made in USA ATI Performance Products, Inc. is located in Baltimore, MD, and specializes in producing and maintaining high performance products for street and track applications. Over the years ATI has earned a reputation for its cutting edge technology, attention to detail and rigorous testing under race conditions.
