Description

The Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit is meticulously crafted from certified 8620 AISI steel, providing superior strength and durability. The crankpins are manufactured from hot-rolled ASTM 4115 steel and case hardened to a level of 58-62Rc. Featuring the latest in caged needle roller bearing designs, this kit ensures high rpm longevity. The uniquely designed big end incorporates strategically located side scalloping and vent slots to minimize bearing race distortion at high rpm, while the small ends are double drilled to supply extra lubrication and cooling to the wrist pin bearing. Each rod is shot-peened to eliminate surface stress risers and double honed to produce an ultra-round bearing surface, ensuring reliability at high RPM.
