What main bearing shells to use? (r56 mcs)

Hi,

I'm re-building my r56 engine with a relatively tuned spec.

I see that I can buy mahle con rod bearings (1320 mini sell them).

Does anyone have a view on what Main Bearing shells I should be using or could be using? Do Mahle do the same?

Thanks,
Steven RW

We stock main bearings as the OEM ones are crazy expensive

Hi. Thanks for the link. Reading the text written in the link I'm trying to work out if this is the price just for the main bearings for holding the crank to the block or if it is for the con rods to crank as well?

I may be missing something but it seemed confusing from the txt.

Thx

Steven RW
