Description

This Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit is built for superior strength and durability. Manufactured from certified 8620 AISI steel, the connecting rod provides exceptional resistance to stress and fatigue. The crankpin, made from hot-rolled ASTM 4115 steel and case hardened to 58-62Rc, ensures optimal wear resistance. Featuring the latest caged needle roller bearing designs, this kit enhances high RPM longevity. The uniquely designed big end incorporates strategically located side scalloping and vent slots to minimize bearing race distortion, maintaining precise tolerances at high speeds. Small ends are double drilled to provide extra lubrication and cooling to the wrist pin bearing, crucial for pistons with crowns close 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 for unmatched reliability.
