Folks,

Since there is not stupid question and I did use the search function, have a very simple question. I got my Calico bearing kit and the ARP (new gen) bolts based on what I have read on this thread.

Unlike factory which is marked with a color code, these are purely gray (obvious) but I cannot make of which side is which (top or bottom). Do I need measurements in this case? Any other way (small marking etc.) that I am missing out on? Instructions didnt say squat.

Secondly, anything else I need besides the bearing and bolts (engine oil pan etc.)? According to Turner, it was recommended that I get:

1 Genuine BMW Bearing Shell Yellow - 11217841609

1 Genuine BMW Guide-bearing Shell Yellow - 11217841613

I have not heard of these bearing shells and guide bearing shell. Are these required?

Thank you in advance, this will be my first DIY on the bearings for the S65 and want to make sure I have all the ducks in a row.

Malek, thanks for all the research.

Regards,

Lutfy
