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.
