Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit - 8715

Upgrade your engine's performance and reliability with the Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit. This heavy-duty, OE replacement kit is engineered to provide superior strength and longevity, ensuring your engine can handle the demands of high-performance riding.

Description

The Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit is meticulously 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, ensuring optimal wear resistance. Featuring the latest in caged needle roller bearing designs, this connecting rod kit is built 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. The small ends are double drilled to provide extra lubrication and cooling to the wrist pin bearing, crucial for engines where 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 kit is made in the USA, ensuring top-quality craftsmanship and performance. This connecting rod kit will work on 400 cc, 450 cc, and 500 cc 4-cycle engines.
