Double forged, connecting rods maintain superior dimensional consistency through improved grain flow. Shot peening eliminates residual stresses and smoothly blends the rod forging surfaces
Corrosion resistant surface treatment
Top and bottom end rod bores case hardened to 58-62 RC to optimize bearing running surface
Precision engineered oiling slots maximize rod strength and bearing life.
Double drilled small ends provide the piston pin with extra lubrication and cooling-reducing distortion of top end due to thermal transfer from the piston
Silver coated bronze phosphor thrust washer, with dimpled design to increase oil retention and reduce friction between rod and washer interface
The crank pin bearings are manufactured from the highest quality hot rolled steel, case hardened to 58-62 RC
The caged needle roller bearings provide the highest possible RPM
The kits come complete with rod, crank pin, crank pin bearing, top end bearing and thrust washers
