If you're diving into the world of Audi I5 20v motors, you’ll want to check out these coated rod bearing sets. They’re designed to fit not just the 20v engines but also most non-MC 10v engines, which is a nice bonus if you’re working on different setups.

Here’s the deal: we start with an OE rod bearing set, which is solid on its own. But then we take it up a notch by applying a top-notch anti-friction coating. This isn’t just any coating; it’s a dry film lubricant that’s engineered to handle some serious performance pressure. If you’re pushing your engine hard, these bearings help you squeeze out a bit more horsepower and efficiency. Plus, they’re built to last longer, which means you won’t be swapping them out as often.

What’s really cool is that in the unfortunate event of oil pressure loss, these coated bearings give you a bit of extra time. They help protect the bearings longer, preventing that nasty overheating and galling that can ruin crank journal surfaces. It’s like insurance for your engine when the going gets tough.

We keep these in stock at standard sizes, so you won’t have to wait around. And at a price per set for one motor, it’s a smart investment for anyone serious about keeping their Audi running smoothly.
