Year, Make & Model
The basic vehicle information gives us the starting point for the application.
FITMENT HELP
Not Sure It Fits? Check Before You Order.
European engine parts can change by engine code, production date, chassis, component size and machining history. Send us the details you have and we’ll help you review the application before purchase.

WHAT TO SEND US
The More Detail You Have, the Better We Can Check.
You do not need every item below to ask for help. Send what you have, and include the manufacturer part number whenever possible.
Engine Code
Often the most important detail. The same model can use more than one engine or engine revision.
Part Number
Send the manufacturer number you are considering or the number from the original component.
Size or Machining Info
For bearings and other internal components, tell us whether you need STD, undersize, oversize or another specific dimension.
VIN, When Helpful
A VIN can help narrow production information, although it does not replace component measurements or engine-specific verification.
Original Part Markings
Numbers, stamps or clear photos of the part being replaced can help when the catalog application is not enough by itself.
WHY MODEL NAME ALONE ISN'T ENOUGH
One Vehicle Can Have More Than One Correct-Looking Part.
European manufacturers often make running production changes, use multiple engine families under one chassis, or offer internal components in several sizes. That is why a broad “fits BMW 3 Series” style claim is not enough for many engine parts.
Engine CodeDifferent engines can share the same model name.
Production DateMid-year or chassis changes can alter the correct component.
Component SizeSTD, undersize and oversize variants may look nearly identical online.
Machining HistoryA previously machined crankshaft or block can change the required size.
HOW WE REVIEW FITMENT
Manufacturer Data First. Secondary Sources Second.
01
Identify the Exact Part
We start with the manufacturer, part number, component type and available size information.
02
Check Manufacturer Application Data
Where available, the manufacturer catalog or application guide is treated as the primary fitment reference.
03
Cross-Check the Application
Reliable secondary references can help confirm engine codes, chassis applications and production ranges.
04
Flag Any Disagreement
If the sources do not line up cleanly, we do not silently turn uncertain fitment into a guarantee.
FITMENT NOTE
“Commonly fitted — confirm before ordering.”
When you see this note, the part is associated with the application but the available information is not strong enough for us to present it as guaranteed fitment. Additional verification may be required using engine code, part number, measurements, VIN information or the original component.
BEFORE INSTALLATION
Compare the New Part With What Came Out.
Fitment assistance helps narrow the correct application, but final verification still needs to happen before assembly.
✓
Compare the manufacturer part number and markings.
✓
Confirm STD / undersize / oversize or other required dimensions.
✓
Check clearances, measurements and installation specifications.
✓
Compare the replacement component directly with the original part before installation.
READY FOR US TO CHECK IT?
Send Us the Part Details Before You Order.
Include your year, make, model, engine code, part number and size information if available. We would rather review it first than have you order the wrong internal engine component.
