Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit for Suzuki and Kawasaki ATVs

This high-quality connecting rod kit from Hot Rods is engineered for exceptional durability and performance in demanding applications. It is designed for strength and reliability, incorporating advanced materials and design features to ensure optimal functionality in high-performance environments.

Key Features:

• Premium Material Construction: Crafted from hot-rolled ASTM 4115 steel and case-hardened to 58-62 Rc for superior durability and wear resistance.
• Advanced Bearing Design: Features side scalloping and vent slots on the big end bearing to reduce distortion at high RPMs, ensuring consistent performance.
• Double-Forged for Strength: The double-forged construction enhances grain flow and dimensional consistency, leading to superior reliability under stress.
• Shot-Peened and Double-Honed Surfaces: These processes improve surface strength and fatigue life, making the rod capable of handling heavy loads.
• Enhanced Lubrication System: Double-drilled small ends provide improved lubrication and cooling to the wrist pin bearing, which is particularly beneficial for pistons with crowns positioned close to the bearing.
• Silver-Coated Components: Thrust washers and the crank pin bearing are silver-coated to increase lubricity, reducing friction and wear.
• Complete Kit Contents: This comprehensive kit includes the connecting rod, crank pin, crank pin bearing, top-end bearing, and necessary thrust washers.
