{"product_id":"s54-rod-bearing-service","title":"S54 Rod Bearing Service","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"markdown markdown-main-panel tutor-markdown-rendering enable-luminous-fast-follows enable-updated-hr-color\" id=\"model-response-message-contentr_8cec232949bb96a4\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRod bearings are the primary failure point that kills these engines, making this a preventative service that every S54 needs done. To ensure maximum longevity and protection against premature engine wear under high load, we utilize upgraded ACL Race Series connecting rod bearings paired with high-tensile ARP rod bolts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe service involves dropped subframe access and removal of the engine oil pan to perform the full bearing replacement. During reassembly, the bottom end is entirely refreshed with new sealing components, including a Corteco oil pan gasket, Elring oil level sensor gasket, and Genuine BMW gaskets and O-rings for the oil pan cover, oil pump pickup tube, and dipstick tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the front subframe must be dropped, critical hardware is replaced with new Genuine BMW steering shaft and suspension subframe reinforcement plate bolts. The service is completed with a new Mahle engine oil filter kit, leaving the bottom end completely sealed and structurally sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis service can be completed same-day from your scheduled drop-off time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"autobaukunst","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43435885363267,"sku":null,"price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/3275\/5011\/files\/S54Crank.jpg?v=1781914886","url":"https:\/\/autobaukunst.com\/products\/s54-rod-bearing-service","provider":"autobaukunst","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
