Connecting rods are crucial components in internal combustion engines and other mechanical systems where reciprocating motion is required. They play a vital role in transferring motion and force from the piston to the crankshaft, converting linear motion into rotational motion.
Functionality:
The connecting rod, for example, is one of the most tortured components in the engine. It’s compressed for half the combustion cycle and stretched during the other half. Taking a chance on replacing such an essential element of the engine with an inferior part is never in the best interest of a powersports enthusiast, so often the choice is to return to the dealership for an OEM part. However, there is an affordable alternative matching OEM quality. A connecting rod connects a piston to a crankshaft with help two split and bolted halves. You need to add enough prelude before attaching the piston and connecting rod to the crankshaft. If you wouldn`t, do it, the oil pump will not have time to send fresh oil to places it`s need. When connecting rod connects to the crankpin, and the connecting-rod cap is slid into place, we need to install connecting rod cap bolts. Once the bolts are in place, them have to be tightened with the torque as specified by the manufacturer.
Applications:
Complementary to Connecting rods complete crankshaft assemblies, connecting rods offers a complete line of replacement connecting-rod kits for dirt bikes, ATVs, personal watercraft and street bikes—all sourced from the same factories in Japan that supply the leading manufacturers. Connecting rod kits help fill those gaps for those who want to refresh their bottom with OE-quality parts without spending OEM parts money.
Advantages:
Connecting rods refers to an automotive-style rod bearing that is simply two bearing shell halves that are affixed in the big-end of the rod. The crank pin fits into these bearing shells within OEM tolerances and rides on a film of oil between the pin and the bearing. Connecting rods bearings utilize German multi-metal technology with Tin plating, which, in combination with the plain bearing design, make them better equipped to handle higher engine loads and better resist bearing and pin wear.
