- Constructed from forged 4340 steel for superior strength and fatigue resistance
- H-beam design optimizes strength-to-weight ratio, reducing flex under high load
- Floating wrist pin style for smooth articulation and reduced wear
- End bore diameter of 0.927 inches and rod journal diameter of 2.126 inches for precise fitment
- Cap screw retention with ARP 7/16-inch 8740 chromoly steel bolts rated at 190,000 psi tensile strength
- Shot-peened finish enhances fatigue life and surface durability
- Magnafluxed to detect internal flaws and ensure structural integrity
- Weight-matched set with an approximate weight of 640 grams per rod for balanced engine operation
- Clearanced for stroker kits: No, designed for standard stroke applications
Construction & Design:
These connecting rods are crafted from premium forged 4340 steel, a material known for its excellent toughness and fatigue resistance under extreme conditions. The H-beam configuration provides an ideal balance between strength and weight, minimizing rod flex and maximizing power transfer. Each rod undergoes a shot-peening process to improve surface hardness and fatigue life, while magnaflux inspection ensures no internal defects compromise reliability.
Cap retention is secured by high-strength ARP 8740 chromoly steel bolts with a 12-point head design, delivering exceptional clamping force and durability. The rods are precision-machined to exact specifications, ensuring consistent performance and fitment across all applications.
Installation & Fitment:
