Rod Bearings Done

Thrt19 · 03-27-2021, 12:21 PM

Thought I'd share my rod bearing experience. Got these done last week. Car is a 2011 e92 with 48k miles. I went with the BE bearings and ARP studs. Got the motor mounts done as well. Job was done here at Sports Car shop in Eugene, OR. Landon and his team were great. Could have gone to AR Racing in Portland but would have needed a ride up and down, Job was $2k excluding parts. Overall, very happy with the result. They did also discover a slight weep coming from the side cover on the DCT during the rod bearing job. I swear, this car has never ending issues. The shop said the leak isn't bad but should be addressed at some point. Does anyone know what is the right service kit to get for a DCT job? I see many kits online and am not sure which is the right one.

Nice! There is an "official rod bearing condition thread" too… You may want to post this there as well.
