Closer than it appears.

After a decade on BMW M groups and forums, I've found the rod bearing dilemma to be excessively religious in nature.

I trust in science.

In this entry, I document my rod bearing service on my original S65B40 engine.

I link to fundamentals on bearings, echo the rational for my bearing & bolts selection from my previous V10 experience and cover the plethora of signature pictures of the original bearings.

Enjoy,
