"Done it this way since start, nope haven't heard about non stretch, and btw don't teach me my job your only a customer", makes me just nervous about capabilities, as things do tend to develop. One of my brothers in law owns a Jaguar shop, granted with focus on the good old 50s-60s cars, he can't stop joking about my maintenance view and oil intervals etc, " sure you have replaced the air in your tires lately?" Haha, love the guy but would not let him near my M3, stuck in old times. |

Hahaha! You would think he knows everything about changing parts on a every second month bases... And I'm sure he does but again when it comes to fluids, plugs, and general overhall its apparently nothing the good old Brit's require. Subject for a lot of fun and interesting dialog around the family dinner tables though!

Doing some looking around, yes that seems to be the case. Had a chat with the fab and received specs, doesn't talk about shell variations (while taking journal and housing into account) but from what I understand they target the similar oil clearance as BE. That in combination with 1/3 price (over here) and predictable availability have made me decided to go with them. Hope to have found a good shop, although a significant distance away. Hope to sync calender with them during July. Exciting.

Hi Guys,
I have been talking to ACL here in Australia about which bearings to go for. Correspondence is as follows: The attachment showed the information below: BMW S65B40 3999cc V8 2007 - 2013 8 - 92.00 x 75.20mm M3 - E90, E92, E93 Set number and sizes Location Component Half Material OEM number Standard Standard Max. Wall Theoretical vertical Max. Number Types Codes Shaft Size Tunnel size at crown Oil Clearance (pg V) Length CONROD 8B1580H Std, .025, .25 1580H IH F781 11247 841 702 51.975 / 51.991 56.000 / 56.013 1.998 .013 / .058 15.90 11247 841 703 8B1580HX Std 1580HX IH F781 11247 841 702 51.975 / 51.991 56.000 / 56.013 1.985 .039 / .084 15.90 11247 841 703 So to all the M3 experts here, would the recommendation be to go with the 8B1580H or the 8B1580HX? Thanks! HI John, |

He says the ACL bearing provide a little extra clearance like the BE bearings, and that extra clearance bearings are what you want for one of these motors.

Seems cheap at less than AUD$200 from the shops here... That's like USD$150 or something. |

Ok cool, my car goes in for servicing end of the month, so doing the ACL RBs with new OEM rod bolts, same time doing dct service, new pans, gaskets , liquimoly etc.
Hopefully all goes well. Switching back to TWS as well with the greater clearance RBs. Had been running Mobil1 5W-50. |
