Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit - 8660

Upgrade your engine's performance and reliability with the Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit. This heavy-duty, OE replacement connecting rod kit is designed to provide superior strength and longevity, ensuring your engine can handle the demands of high-performance riding.

Description

The Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit is engineered for durability and performance. Constructed from certified 8620 AISI steel, these connecting rods offer exceptional strength. The crankpins are manufactured from hot-rolled ASTM 4115 steel and case hardened to a level of 58-62Rc, providing increased wear resistance. Featuring the latest 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. Small ends are double drilled to provide extra lubrication and cooling to the wrist pin bearing, which is especially important when the piston crown is close to the wrist pin bearing. Shot-peened to eliminate surface stress risers and smoothly blend together the rod forging's radiuses. Double honing produces an ultra-round bearing surface for reliability at high RPM. Compatible with Hot Rods and OE crankshafts, this kit is a direct replacement for your original connecting rod.
