The Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit 8602 is a high-quality replacement designed for Yamaha models. The kit includes all necessary components for reliable performance under heavy loads, featuring advanced engineering for durability and efficiency. Features include a complete kit with connecting rod, crank pin, crank pin bearing, top-end bearing, and thrust washers. Made from hot-rolled ASTM 4115 steel and case-hardened to 58-62 Rc for strength and longevity. Advanced design reduces high RPM bearing race distortion through side scalloping and vent slots. Double-forged rods enhance grain flow and ensure dimensional consistency. Shot-peened and double-honed for superior durability under heavy loads. Small ends are double-drilled for extra lubrication and cooling of the wrist pin bearing. Thrust washers and crank pin bearings are silver-coated for added lubricity. Technical Specifications: Big End Bore (mm): 42.00, Center to Center (mm): 102.00, Pin Diameter (mm): 34.00, Pin Length (mm): 60.80, Small End Bore (mm): 19.00.
