16V block stiffening plate incl. ARP Stud bolts KR PL ABF

1.8-2.0l 16V block stiffening plate including ARP main bearing stud bolts

This 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.

The consequences of a non-stiffened crank drive are major engine damage such as

• Breakage of the crankshaft
• Bursting of the engine block
• Connecting rod damage
