Connecting Rods

Protect your S65 engine from potential rod bearing failure by choosing the BE Bearings and Clevite collaboration. These upgraded rod bearings offer increased clearance and a lead-copper material composition, safeguarding against catastrophic engine failure caused by spun bearings. The innovative Clevite Tri-Metal design, featuring Tri-Armor™ coating, ensures improved lubrication, wear prevention, and tolerance to foreign particles in the oil. The softer bearings are gentle on your engine and enable accurate oil testing to monitor engine wear.

This kit includes:

• Upper and lower BE Bearings upgraded rod bearings
• Hardware
• Oil filter
• Castrol TWS Edge Professional
• Oil pan gasket
• RedLine assembly lube

Enhance your S65 engine's durability and performance with this comprehensive kit from Turner Motorsport.

This kit includes every thing needed to replace your rod bearings.

The S85 engine has a known history of rod bearing failure. If your engine is higher mileage, don't let this catastrophic failure happen to you. Replace your rod bearings and prevent a spun bearing, a failure that has the potential to trash your crankshaft.

What is WPC, you ask? 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. What are you waiting for? Use WPC-treated bearings on your next engine build or rod bearing service!

Turner Motorsport "Race Series" WPC-Treated Rod Bearing Shells (20) Genuine BMW Connecting Rod Bolts (20) OEM MANN Oil Filter Kit Castrol Edge Euro Car Engine Oil (10w-60) - 9 Quarts Genuine BMW Oil Drain Plug Turner Oil Change Decal Elring Oil Pan Gasket Permatex Ultra Slick Engine Assembly Lube (4 oz.)

If your engine has higher mileage, don't neglect rod bearing replacement! These bearings are sandwiched between the connecting rod and crankshaft journal and are prone to failure due to overheating, lack of lubrication, or general wear. Replace your rod bearings and prevent a spun bearing.

Starting with ACL’s high-performance bearing shells, our Race Series bearings are built to withstand extreme RPMs and stress. Utilizing a "Duraglide" tri-metal construction and a high-strength overlay plate, these bearings offer superior oiling and heat resistance for high-RPM operation.

Our WPC-treated bearings take ACL’s already impressive design and enhance it even further. The WPC treatment process strengthens and smooths the bearing surface by firing high-speed, ultra-fine particles at the bearing shells, reducing friction and improving durability. This advanced surface treatment ensures smoother operation and improved heat dissipation, which are critical for any high-performance engine.
