{"product_id":"crank-bolt-capture-for-n55-s55-engines","title":"Crank Bolt Capture for N55\/S55 Engines","description":"The Vargas Turbo Technologies Crank Bolt Capture provides an essential layer of security for high-performance BMW engines by preventing the crankshaft bolt from loosening. Spun crank hubs on N55 and S55 platforms can lead to skipped valve timing and catastrophic engine failure; this capture kit addresses this by fully encapsulating the head of the factory crankshaft bolt and locking it in place against the crank hub. It is manufactured from 100% billet aircraft-grade aluminum and features a black anodized finish for durability.\n\nThis kit is intended exclusively for 2011+ BMW models equipped with N55 or S55 engines. In rare instances where the capture plate does not align with the damper bolts, the installer may need to slightly adjust the torque on the crank bolt or install a new bolt to ensure correct clocking; due to the high torque specifications involved in these procedures, professional installation is strongly recommended.\n\nWeighing only 1.3 ounces, the capture plate adds virtually no rotational mass, maintaining engine balance. Unlike more invasive crank hub solutions, it requires no major engine disassembly and can be conveniently installed during routine services, such as a drive belt replacement.","brand":"Vargas Turbo Technologies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52689609687352,"sku":"VTT-CBC-S55","price":127.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687760543.jpg?v=1784908112","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/crank-bolt-capture-for-n55-s55-engines","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
