Upgrade your engine's performance and reliability with the Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit. This heavy-duty OE replacement is engineered for superior strength and durability, ensuring your engine can handle the demands of high-performance riding.

Description

The Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit is meticulously crafted for exceptional performance and longevity. Constructed from certified 8620 AISI steel, these connecting rods offer superior strength compared to stock components. The crankpins are manufactured from hot-rolled ASTM 4115 steel and case hardened to a level of 58-62Rc for increased durability. Featuring the latest in caged needle roller bearing designs, this kit is optimized for high RPM operation. 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, providing extra lubrication and cooling to the wrist pin bearing, which is essential when the piston crown is close to the wrist pin bearing. Each rod is shot-peened to eliminate surface stress risers and smoothly blend the forging's radiuses. Double honing ensures an ultra-round bearing surface for unmatched reliability, even under extreme conditions. Compatible with both Hot Rods and OE crankshafts, this kit provides a seamless upgrade for your engine. Made in the USA, ensuring top-quality manufacturing and materials.
