ACL BMW M3 (E90) S65 V8 Engine Standard Size High Performance Rod Bearing Set

Doing a rebuild on the S65 V8 engine in your 2008-2013 BMW M3? These standard size high-performance rod bearings from ACL are a well-built component that can make a big difference. The S65 is a high-revving V8, and keeping the connecting rod bearings in top shape is crucial for engine longevity, especially if you're pushing the engine hard or have a lot of miles on it.

ACL has been making engine bearings for a long time, and these are made with their HX material, which is a high-performance overlay. They're designed to handle the demands of performance engines like the S65. Because they are standard size, they're meant to be a direct replacement for your original bearings, assuming your crankshaft journals are still within factory specifications. If you're doing a full engine rebuild, it's always a good idea to have your crankshaft measured to ensure it's perfectly round and within tolerance before installing new bearings.

When you're putting these bearings in, make sure to follow the manufacturer's lubrication and installation instructions carefully. Using the correct assembly lube and ensuring proper oil pressure is key to getting the most out of these bearings and keeping your M3's engine running strong.
