{"product_id":"2-0-4340-h-beam-connecting-rod-set","title":"2.0 4340 H-Beam Connecting Rod Set","description":"The ZZP Ecotec 2.0 4340 Connecting Rods are a set of four H-beam style connecting rods crafted from forged 4340 steel, engineered for high-horsepower Ecotec 2.0L applications. These rods are designed to surpass the power limitations of stock components, which are generally safe up to 450-500wtq, with some variants like the LDK\/LHU breaking at even lower thresholds.\n\nEach rod set undergoes rigorous processing, including magna-fluxing, heat treating, stress relieving, shot peening, and sonic testing to ensure maximum strength and durability for demanding performance builds. ZZP's exclusive “no twist” machining ensures precise parallelism between the pin end and big end. The connecting rods are weight-matched to within +\/-1.5 grams to simplify engine balancing. They also feature silicon bronze bushings for compatibility with floating wrist pins.\n\nInstallation requires ARP lube and a torque specification of 55 ft-lbs. The tangs are installed facing the exhaust side, mirroring the factory configuration, though their orientation does not affect symmetrical rods. Please note that these connecting rods will not work with stock pistons; forged pistons are a mandatory requirement for this upgrade.","brand":"ZZPerformance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52872020984120,"sku":"Not specified on product page, but fits Ecotec 2.0L LSJ","price":479.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/2-0-4340-h-beam-connecting-rod-set","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
