Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit - 8670

Upgrade your engine's performance and reliability with the Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit. This heavy-duty kit provides a robust OE replacement, ensuring your 2-cycle engine can handle demanding conditions. Built with precision and using high-quality materials, this connecting rod kit is designed for enthusiasts and professionals seeking maximum durability and performance.

Description

The Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit is engineered to provide superior strength and longevity for your 125 cc, 144 cc, or 150 cc 2-cycle engine. Manufactured from certified 8620 AISI steel, the connecting rod offers exceptional durability. The crankpins, made from hot-rolled ASTM 4115, are case hardened to 58-62Rc, ensuring they withstand extreme stress. The latest caged needle roller bearing designs promote high rpm longevity, while the uniquely designed big end features 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, crucial for pistons with crowns close to the wrist pin bearing. Each rod is shot-peened to eliminate surface stress risers and double honed to produce an ultra-round bearing surface for reliability. Compatible with both Hot Rods and OE crankshafts, this kit is a perfect upgrade for your engine. Made in the USA.
