VR6 12V block stiffening plate, ground flat with ARP stud bolts VW Golf 3 AAA ABV

Flat-ground VR6 12V block stiffening plate including ARP main bearing stud bolts

The plate is required to stiffen the crankshaft drive.
This is particularly important for high-performance engines, as the crankshaft twists too much and the bearing races are subjected to very high tensile loads.
The stiffening plate is bolted to the main bearing blocks using special sleeves, thereby stiffening the crankshaft drive and engine block.

Theconsequences of a non-stiffened crank drive are major engine damage such as:
Breakage of the crankshaft
Bursting of the engine block
Connecting rod damage
