HOT RODS Connecting Rod 8145

A connecting rod is only as reliable as its ability to withstand extreme combustion pressures and sustained high-RPM cycling—failure here means catastrophic engine damage. The HOT RODS 8145 combines certified 8620 AISI steel with precision engineering and shot-peening to deliver the durability demanded by serious racers and rebuilt performance engines. If you're pushing your engine to its limits, this heavy-duty OE replacement rod ensures your bottom end stays intact.
