BMW N55 / S55 4 Pin Crank Hub

Eliminate Crank Hub Failure on Your N55/S55 with RK Autowerks’ 4-Pin Solution

Crank hub issues have plagued BMW N55 and S55 engines for over a decade—causing crankshaft spin, timing drift, and costly internal damage. RK Autowerks answers this problem with a precisely engineered fix: the RK 4-Pin Crank Hub.

CNC machined in-house at RK’s Texas facility and made from heat-treated 4130 Chromoly steel, this crank hub offers unmatched durability and precision. The 4-pin design prevents the valve timing and oil pump chains from spinning independently, locking the crank hub to the crank nose for rock-solid alignment and long-term reliability—even on high-horsepower builds.

Developed by Raza and the RK team, this hub has been laser scanned for perfect fitment and is a direct replacement for the OEM part. Whether you're running a stock engine or a heavily modified setup, this upgrade is a must-have for peace of mind and performance.

Key Features:

• CNC machined from heat-treated 4130 Chromoly
• 4-pin design locks the crank hub to the crankshaft
• Eliminates timing inconsistencies and crank spin
• Perfect fitment verified via laser scanning
• Designed and manufactured in the USA
• Direct OEM replacement for N55 and S55 engines

The comprehensive kit includes the following components:

• One-piece crank hub/timing gear
• Keyed oil pump gear
• Drill bit
• Drill guide
