When pushing your VW or Audi engine to the limits, a set of IE Billet Main Caps will provide a rigid foundation for your crankshaft, reducing main bearing wear. These main caps are in-house CNC machined steel for a massive upgrade over the stock cast main caps.
When To Upgrade Your Main Caps
The stock main caps are cast and lack the rigidity required for a reliable high power build. We recommend upgrading to a set of IE Billet Main Caps when building a performance engine exceeding 500HP. These VW/Audi 4 cylinder main caps are CNC machined in house to exacting tolerances for an easy fitting process. They provide extreme rigidity to the main bearing and crankshaft, which is a necessity for high horsepower engines.
