This heavy-duty, OE replacement connecting rod is engineered for superior strength and durability, ensuring long-lasting performance even under demanding conditions. Made in the USA with high-quality materials and precision machining, this kit provides a significant upgrade over stock components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDescription\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThe Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit is meticulously crafted from certified 8620 AISI steel for exceptional strength. The crankpins are manufactured from hot-rolled ASTM 4115 and case hardened to a level of 58-62Rc. This kit features the latest in caged needle roller bearing designs, optimized for high RPM longevity. 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 to provide extra lubrication and cooling to the wrist pin bearing, a critical feature 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 rod forging's radiuses. Double honing ensures an ultra-round bearing surface, enhancing reliability at high RPM. Compatible with both Hot Rods and OE crankshafts, this connecting rod kit delivers uncompromising performance.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty OE replacement for increased reliability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eManufactured from certified 8620 AISI steel for superior strength.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eCaged needle roller bearing design ensures high RPM longevity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eStrategically scalloped and vented big end minimizes bearing race distortion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eDouble-drilled small end provides enhanced wrist pin bearing lubrication.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eShot-peened finish eliminates stress risers and improves durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMade in the USA.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eBrand: Hot Rods\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMaterial: 8620 Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eEngine Type: 4-Cycle\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eDisplacement: 450 cc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eImportant to know\u003c\/h2\u003e\nMost rod assemblies are sold complete with rod, crank pin, crank pin bearing, top-end bearing, and silver-coated bronze phosphor thrust washers.","brand":"Hot Rods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53716684800330,"sku":"09230035","price":237.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0971\/0016\/9546\/files\/0b5ed4362933dd2864af0dc3e37e0dd7.webp?v=1767578045","url":"https:\/\/partsdenmark.com\/products\/hot-rods-connecting-rod-kit-for-450cc-4-cycle-engines-5","provider":"Parts Denmark","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
