S55 4-Pin Crank Hub & Comprehensive Installation Kit
Product Details
While the S55 is a great engine and can be considered "reliable", it has one major weak link that could result in thousands of dollars of damage, requiring a full engine replacement. This weak link is the crank hub.
Due to the design of the factory crank hub not including a keyed slot or locating pins, this hub is only held in place by a single crank hub bolt that is torqued down. Under the right conditions, such as this bolt loosening over time, the crankshaft hub can slip, leading to improper timing and severe engine damage.
This kit was put together with addressing this issue and making installation easier in mind. The Insane Performance S55 4-Pin One-Piece Crank Hub included in this kit is significantly more robust than the stock crank hub and sprockets, featuring a one-piece design so that the oil pump and timing sprockets will not shift, and 4 hardened pins that physically secure the crank hub to the crankshaft, preventing the crank hub from slipping and going out of time with the crankshaft, even if the main crank bolt where to slightly loosen. This ensures that no matter how hard you beat your S55 engine, be it daily driving, track day weekends, or a full racing schedule, you can rest assured that the crank hub and timing will be securely set and the least of your worries!
Also included in this kit are all of the gaskets, seals, hardware, and timing components needed to make installation a breeze and service the timing system while you have everything torn apart.
See our kit contents tab for a full list of all included components. As this kit is "dry" and does not include coolant or oil, we also recommend picking up your favorite fluids and filters to make this a truly complete service. Check our oil maintenance and cooling categories for all of the additional service kits you may need, whether you'd prefer Genuine BMW fluids or more performance-oriented fluids like Liqui-Moly or Red Line.
