Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit - 8139

Upgrade your engine's performance and reliability with the Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit. This kit provides a heavy-duty OE replacement, ensuring your 2-cycle engine operates at its peak. Built with high-quality materials and precision engineering, this connecting rod kit is designed for longevity and superior strength.

Description

The Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit is engineered for demanding conditions and high-performance engines. Manufactured from certified 8620 AISI steel, the connecting rod offers exceptional strength and durability. The crankpins are made from hot-rolled ASTM 4115 steel, case hardened to 58-62Rc, ensuring they can withstand extreme stress. The latest caged needle roller bearing design maximizes longevity at high RPMs, while the uniquely designed big end minimizes bearing race distortion through strategically located side scalloping and vent slots. Small ends are double drilled to enhance lubrication and cooling to the wrist pin bearing, critical for pistons with a close crown-to-bearing proximity. Each rod is shot-peened to eliminate surface stress risers and double honed to achieve an ultra-round bearing surface, resulting in unparalleled reliability. Compatible with both Hot Rods and OE crankshafts, this connecting rod kit is made in the USA, guaranteeing top-tier quality and precision.
