### High Performance Connecting Rod Kit The High Performance Connecting Rod Kit offers a premium-quality, affordable replacement for original equipment, designed to provide superior strength and durability. This kit includes a connecting rod, crank pin, crank bearing, wrist pin bearing, and thrust washers. **Key Features:** – **Premium Materials:** Made from certified 8620 AISI steel, ensuring exceptional strength and reliability. – **Advanced Manufacturing:** The crankpins are crafted from hot-rolled ASTM 4115 steel and case-hardened to a hardness level of 58-62Rc. – **High RPM Longevity:** Features the latest caged needle roller bearing designs to sustain high RPM performance. – **Optimized Design:** The big end of the rod includes strategically placed side scalloping and vent slots to minimize bearing race distortion at high RPM. – **Enhanced Lubrication:** Small ends are double drilled to provide extra lubrication and cooling to the wrist pin bearing, crucial for high-stress conditions. – **Stress Reduction:** Shot-peened to eliminate surface stress risers and ensure smooth radiuses on the rod forging. – **Precision Engineering:** Double honing creates an ultra-round bearing surface, enhancing reliability at high RPM. – **Complete Assembly:** Most rod assemblies come complete with rod, crank pin, crank pin bearing, top-end bearing, and silver-coated bronze phosphor thrust washers. – **Copper-Coated Forging:** The rods are forged with copper-coated surfaces to protect the rod beam from brittleness during the case-hardening process. – **Compatibility:** Compatible with both Hot Rods and OE crankshafts. This connecting rod kit is engineered to meet the high standards required for performance and durability, making it an ideal choice for high-demand applications.
