ARP High Performance Series Connecting Rod Bolt Kits

ARP High Performance Series connecting rod bolts are made from seamless and defect-free 8740 chromoly steel. All ARP rod bolts are heat-treated before grinding and thread rolling and have a large underhead radius for greater strength. Guaranteed to pass magnetic inspection testing, these bolts are nearly five times stronger than OEM bolts. They're used in applications ranging from stock replacement to Circle Track, marine, and drag racing engines.

Eagle H-Beam Connecting Rods

Free your engine's horsepower on the wings of Eagle H-beam connecting rods. Their 2-piece, forged, vacuum-degassed, 4340-certified steel construction provides outstanding strength, while still weighing much less than stock rods. Each rod is multi-stage heat-treated, X-rayed, sonic-tested, magnafluxed, 100 percent machined, and then shot-peened to stress-relieve the metal. The rods have precision cap alignment sleeves to positively locate each rod cap, silicon bronze bushings for floating pin models—and are available in stroker models that allow additional cam-to-rod clearance for large stroke combinations. They come standard with 190,000 psi rated ARP 8740 and 230,000 psi rated ARP 2000 rod bolts, or 265,000 psi rated ARP L-19 bolts as upgrades. Instructions and rod bolt lubrication are included. Order the model designed for your vehicle year/make and engine application.

Callies Compstar Connecting Rods

Better by design, Callies Compstar connecting rods offer high performance and a trouble-free engine build. Concerns about out-of-round, big-end bore sizing, repeatability, time-saving details, and upgrade costs are a thing of the past. Their forged 4340 steel rods are put through a lengthy stress-relief process and burnishing of threads and bolt spot faces to ensure dimensional repeatability, no matter how many times rods are torn down and reassembled. Pin bushings are chamfered and honed, parting line edges are generously chamfered, and bearing locating tab slots are deburred, all in an effort to save you time and trouble. ARP 2000 bolts and stroker clearances are standard with Compstar rods. Choose either their original H-beam design or heavy-duty I-beam designed rods. For high performance use right out of the box, plus value and peace of mind, try Callies Compstar connecting rods.

Oliver Big Block Max Plus Series Connecting Rods

Oliver Big Block Max Plus Series connecting rods are for those who push beyond the limits, where weight takes a back seat to absolute strength. Featuring the same design and engineering as the Big Block Max rods, the Plus Series has additional material in key areas, larger radiuses, and longer rod bolts for even more strength. They are engineered for use in the most extreme applications where power-adders are common, such as big block turbocharged or supercharged endurance motors and blown alcohol drag cars. All Oliver Racing rods are precision-machined using only premium mill-certified aircraft quality E4340 chromoly alloy and heat-treated to produce a 100 percent martensite grain structure. The I-beam connecting rods feature Oliver's exclusive "Parabolic Beam" design that reduces beam stress and delivers the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any connecting rod currently made. Order the length needed for your vehicle and engine application.
