Callies Compstar Xtreme Connecting Rods

All the quality, reliability, and workmanship you have relied upon for years from the Compstar lineup is taken to the Xtreme--Callies Compstar Xtreme connecting rods. Specifically designed for power adder and diesel applications, these rods utilize the same proven 4340 material and ARP 2000 or L19 fasteners. Strength was added by thickening up the flanges of the H-beam and a reduced depth-of-cut towards the center of each rod, then non-essential weight is taken out of the beam to help keep the overall weight of these Xtreme rods in check. Choose a set for your high output, boosted 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.

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.

Clevite V-Series Rod Bearings

If you liked the results that you used to get with Vandervell bearings--especially their higher conformability--then you should love Clevite V-Series rod bearings, which basically duplicate the Vandervell items. Built on un-plated, hardened-steel backings for better dimensional accuracy and bore contact, they have low-to-medium eccentricity. The biggest difference between V-Series and other Clevite 77 bearings is their lead-indium surface alloy, which gives them that extra conformability. V-Series bearings are available in narrower versions to provide greater crank-fillet clearance, as well as in extra-clearance variations that provide an additional 0.001 or 0.002 in. of clearance.
