Carrillo BMW S58B30 5.945in Carrillo Rod w/ 3/8 CARR-PS Bolt 0.0065in-0.0075in

This is a Carrillo connecting rod specifically made for BMW S58B30 engines. Carrillo is well-known for building strong internal engine components, and these rods are designed to handle the demands of high-performance applications. If you're rebuilding the engine in your BMW and looking for a robust connecting rod that can stand up to increased power, this is a solid option.

These rods measure 5.945 inches in length and come equipped with 3/8 inch CARR-PS bolts. The CARR-PS bolts are a proprietary design from Carrillo, known for their strength and reliability under high stress. The rod itself is forged from high-quality steel, a common practice for performance connecting rods because it offers excellent strength-to-weight characteristics. This forging process creates a well-built component that can withstand the significant forces generated during combustion and rotation within the engine. The specific clearance noted, 0.0065in-0.0075in, refers to the bearing journal clearance, which is critical for proper oil flow and bearing life. Ensuring this clearance is correct is key to a healthy engine build.

When installing these rods, it's important to follow the manufacturer's recommended procedures precisely. This includes using the correct torque specifications for the rod bolts and ensuring the crankshaft journals are within the specified tolerance. Because these are performance components, they are often used in conjunction with other upgraded engine parts, such as performance pistons and crankshafts, to build a complete, high-output engine. If you're building a performance BMW engine, these Carrillo rods are a dependable choice for the core rotating assembly.
