Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit - 8125

Upgrade your engine's performance and reliability with the Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit. This heavy-duty OE replacement is designed for enthusiasts and professionals seeking superior strength and longevity in their 2-cycle engines. Built with precision and using high-quality materials, this connecting rod kit ensures optimal performance even under demanding conditions.

Description

The Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit is engineered to deliver exceptional durability and performance. Manufactured from certified 8620 AISI steel, these connecting rods provide superior strength, ensuring they can withstand the stresses of high-performance engines. The crankpins are made from hot-rolled ASTM 4115 and case hardened to a level of 58-62Rc, further enhancing their robustness. Featuring the latest in caged needle roller bearing designs, this kit promotes 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 supply extra lubrication and cooling to the wrist pin bearing, crucial when the piston crown is close to the wrist pin bearing. Each rod is shot-peened to eliminate surface stress risers and smoothly blend together the rod forging's radiuses. Double honing produces an ultra-round bearing surface, ensuring reliability at high rpm. Compatible with both Hot Rods and OE crankshafts, this kit offers versatile application for your 80cc or 85cc 2-cycle engine.
