Which DIY are you following? There is no such step in the one linked in my sig

[punisher12b]

in the Be Bearing kit,,

[SYT_Shadow]

The only useful information in the little paper that comes with the rod bearings is the torque value and where to apply the guck on the bolts

[punisher12b]

Gotcha lol. Thank you just got the car

And the kit
Last weekend

Good work doing the rod bearings right away. If I bought a third E9X I would do the same.

Snagged one with 70k on it in great shape
Super happy my dream car lol

Other information is relevant if you're doing rod bearings with a disassembled engine, like the point on stretch target

Where are you located in the DC area? I'm in North Laurel (HoCo). I am no mechanic but have a single owner 2009 e92 M3 which is now a track only car. Always nice to meet folks in the area.

ive never followed that but I think its relating to the clamping force being different than what is achieved through the OEM thus altering the total length of the piston rod assembly.
