K1 Technologies Connecting Rod Set, Chevrolet Big Block, 6.480 in. Length, H-Beam, Set of 8
$796.59
K1 Technologies connecting rods are manufactured with optimized strength and weight characteristics in mind to deliver reliable performance. Forged from 4340 steel, K1 rods featured a shot-peened surface finish which smooths surface blends and reduces potential stress profiles. K1 connecting rods are held to strict quality standards and undergo magnetic particle testing to ensure material properties are free of flaws. Each rod is also subject to bore tolerance compliance, holding them to +/- .0001 after finishing. Additionally, K1 rods are balanced and tested to be within +/- 1 gram per end. A dual-ribbing design on the rod caps of K1 connecting rods helps maximize strength and allows the rod big end to maintain roundness as engine RPMs increase. Full-floating, precision-honed bronze bushings are fixed into the small ends of the rods for low friction and high wear resistance. Fitted with ARP 2000 rod bolts rated at 200,000 psi tensile strength for most applications, K1 connecting rods deliver an industry-leading combination of strength and value.

K1 Technologies | Performance Crankshafts and Connecting Rods

K1 Technologies is a name you can trust for high-quality performance components at affordable rates. The business values its clients and goes to great lengths to become your go-to supplier for crankshafts and connecting rods. K1 Technologies promises its products are of the highest quality and value since it has years of engineering and manufacturing expertise. The components are available in a wide range of sizes and applications to guarantee that owners of Toyota, Ford, BMW, Chrysler, Nissan, and several other cars may get what they need.

K1 Technologies' race-ready connecting rods and crankshafts outperform their competitors because of their innovative design. Because the solutions are created and improved in-house, and their sizes are created to the racing industry's finest standards, they offer unrivaled dependability. The finish of the items is given more consideration. Bearing surfaces are first subjected to a hundred percent mag particle inspection before being polished and nitrided for excellent wear resistance and long service life. Furthermore, K1 rods and cranks have a one-of-a-kind design that allows weight savings without losing durability.

State-of-the-Art Connecting Rods and Crankshaft Production

To put top-of-the-line components in your hands, the company's engineers work hours producing the most innovative design and the most dependable construction. They work tirelessly to provide the most reliable components capable of meeting the most demanding race applications while also providing amazing performance.

K1 Technologies connecting rods, for example, are forged from prime 4340 steel and hand-finished in the United States. So, when it comes to exceptional craftsmanship and unbeatable pricing, K1 Technologies rods are the only way to go! The cranks have been core hardened to reduce stress and increase tensile strength. Additionally, counterweights have been placed on each crank for ideal load reduction and balancing ease.

Consistency and Performance in Mind

To obtain accurate and consistent bore geometry, K1 Technologies only employs ARP bolts inserted and secured to precise specifications before the sharpening procedure. It has 625 custom age bolts offered as an advanced option. Furthermore, the company uses bronze bushings in its products, providing for a full-floating pin.

Besides H-beam connecting rods particularly built for stroker applications, forged Wiseco pistons, 4340 forged crankshafts, and high-performance rod/main bearings, K1 Technologies also provides superb rotating components for GM LS-Series engines. As a result, if you receive K1 connecting rods, crankshafts, or rotating assemblies, you'll be a step ahead of the competition and benefit from various enhanced features, such as forward-thinking design and industry-leading efficiency.
