Upgrade your engine's performance and reliability with the Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit. This heavy-duty, OE replacement connecting rod kit is designed to provide superior strength and longevity for your 85cc 2-cycle engine. Made in the USA, this kit is engineered for high-performance applications and is compatible with both Hot Rods and OE crankshafts.
Description
The Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit is crafted from certified 8620 AISI steel, offering exceptional strength and durability. The crankpins are manufactured from hot-rolled ASTM 4115 steel and case hardened to a level of 58-62Rc. Featuring the latest in caged needle roller bearing designs, this connecting rod kit ensures 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 supply extra lubrication and cooling to the wrist pin bearing, which is crucial when the piston crown is close to the wrist pin bearing. Each rod is shot-peened to eliminate surface stress risers and smoothly blend together the rod forging's radiuses. Double honing produces an ultra-round bearing surface for enhanced reliability at high RPM. Upgrade your 85cc 2-cycle engine with this premium connecting rod kit for improved performance and peace of mind. This kit provides a strong and durable connection between the piston and crankshaft, vital for optimal engine function.
