Description

The Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit is crafted from certified 8620 AISI steel, providing exceptional strength and durability. The crankpins are manufactured from hot-rolled ASTM 4115 and case hardened to a level of 58-62Rc. Featuring the latest in caged needle roller bearing designs, this connecting rod kit ensures high RPM longevity. The uniquely designed big end uses 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, which is especially important when the piston crown is close to the wrist pin bearing. Each connecting 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 for enhanced reliability at high RPM. This kit is compatible with both Hot Rods and OE crankshafts. Made in the USA, you can be confident in the quality and craftsmanship of this product. Upgrade to the Hot Rods connecting rod kit and experience the difference in performance and durability.
