Connecting Rod
Responsible for pushing down on and rotating the crankshaft during combustion are the connecting rods. These rotating assembly components are attached to the piston at the top with a pin and at the bottom to the crankshaft with rod bearings and caps. Over time, due to wear, weakening, or being overpowered by a modified engine, the connecting rod engine components can weaken and become damaged, requiring replacement.
When selecting an engine connecting rod set, the first step is confirming the engine year, make, and size. Next confirm if bushed or pressed pins are being used with the pistons, as well as the crank journal size, pin diameter,connecting rod length, and other specifications. For performance applications, choose the correct strength to match your engine's power output, whether an H or I beam design.
