10X Entries For Our 25th Anniversary Sweepstakes!

we�ve combined two of the most trusted names in race-grade engine architecture into one definitive kit: ACL Race Series High-Performance Rod Bearings and BE Performance Heavy-Duty Rod Bolts. This isn�t just a repair kit; it�s a permanent upgrade to give you total peace of mind at redline.

The Elite Components inside the Kit

1. ACL Race Series Rod Bearing Set (Standard Size)

Engineered to withstand the intense thermal and mechanical stresses of high-revving M engines, ACL bearings are a massive upgrade over factory components.

  • Tri-Metal Durability: Features a high-strength overlay and hardened steel backing to handle high-RPM loads without deformation.

  • Optimized Oil Flow: Advanced design ensures exceptional oil retention and film strength, directly addressing the S65�s oil starvation vulnerabilities.

  • Track-Proven Reliability: Trusted by professional engine builders worldwide for both daily street driving and grueling track days.

2. BE Performance S65 Connecting Rod Bolt Set

When you�re refreshing your bearings, replacing the rod bolts is mandatory. BE Performance engineered these bolts specifically to fix the shortfalls of standard options.

  • Custom ARP Design: Designed by BE Performance and manufactured by ARP, these custom-spec bolts offer superior tensile strength over factory stretch-bolts.

  • No Bore Distortion: Unlike standard ARP 2000 bolts�which can alter the roundness of the S65 rod bore�BE Performance bolts are engineered to mimic factory clamping forces precisely, eliminating the need to resize your connecting rods.

  • Re-useable Security: Unlike single-use OEM torque-to-yield bolts, these high-strength fasteners can be reused if the engine is ever disassembled in the future.
