Description

The Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit is engineered to exceed OEM standards, offering enhanced strength and reliability for your 250cc 4-cycle engine. Manufactured from certified 8620 AISI steel, these connecting rods offer exceptional durability. The crankpins, made from hot-rolled ASTM 4115, are case hardened to 58-62Rc for increased wear resistance. The latest caged needle roller bearing designs ensure high rpm longevity, while the uniquely designed big end minimizes bearing race distortion through strategic side scalloping and vent slots. Small ends are double drilled to enhance lubrication and cooling to the wrist pin bearing. Shot-peened to eliminate surface stress risers and double honed for an ultra-round bearing surface, this connecting rod kit delivers unmatched reliability. Compatible with both Hot Rods and OE crankshafts, this kit is proudly made in the USA.
