G60 8V 16V 16VG60 block stiffening plate kit

This girdle plate prevents excessive torsion of the crankshaft drive.

Particularly in highly tuned engines such as e. g. with the turbo, the crankshaft tends to twist too much, which can affect the entire engine and cause serious damage to the bearings and piston and even break the crankshaft or conrods!
The girdle plate not only ensures maximum stability, but also acts as an oil separator.

Please do NOT use threadlocker when fitting.

Please select a version with 12.9 mm screws or ARP stud bolt.

Suitable for all VW and Audi blocks of the 827 generation such as:

Audi 80
Audi 100
