ACL BMW S85B50 5.0L V10 Standard Size (w/.001in Oil Clearance) Performance Rod Bearing Set

The S85 V10 engine in your 2006-2010 BMW M5 or M6 is a high-performance machine, and keeping its connecting rod bearings in top shape is crucial for longevity. This set from ACL offers a standard size bearing but with an added 0.001 inch of oil clearance. This extra clearance helps ensure a consistent flow of oil to the crankshaft, which is especially important under demanding driving conditions or when you've made other performance modifications.

ACL has been making engine bearings for a long time, and these are well-built for the job. They use a specialized overlay material that's designed to handle the stresses of a high-revving V10. The extra oil clearance is a smart choice if you're looking to give your engine a bit more protection, especially if you already have other upgrades like a performance exhaust or intake that might increase engine load. They fit right in place of the factory bearings, making installation straightforward for someone familiar with engine work.

When you're rebuilding or refreshing the bottom end of your S85 engine, using quality bearings like these from ACL is a solid choice. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully, paying close attention to torque specifications and crankshaft cleanliness.
