Description
Whether you’re building a high-rpm stroker or replacing worn factory rods, the HOT RODS Connecting Rod 8690 delivers the strength and precision needed to handle sustained boost and aggressive ignition timing. AISI 8620 certified steel and case-hardened crankpins resist fatigue and deflection at extreme RPMs, while the caged needle roller bearing design ensures reliability under continuous load.
