{"product_id":"4340-forged-connecting-rod-set-2-4l-le5-le9-lea","title":"4340 Forged Connecting Rod Set, 2.4L LE5\/LE9\/LEA","description":"The ZZP 2.4L LE5 4340 Connecting Rods are a forged performance upgrade for the Ecotec engine platform, specifically for 2.4L LE5, LE9, and LEA applications. While stock rods suffice for mild power levels, these 4340 forged H-beam rods are built to withstand the increased stress of higher horsepower and torque.\n\nConstructed from forged 4340 steel, these connecting rods undergo rigorous quality control processes including magna-fluxing, heat treatment, stress relieving, shot peening, and sonic testing to ensure they meet the demands of high-performance builds. ZZPerformance's exclusive \"no twist\" machining guarantees exceptional pin end to big end parallelism. Each set is meticulously weight-matched to within +\/- 1.5 grams to simplify engine balancing. Silicon bronze bushings are pre-installed for compatibility with floating pins.\n\nInstallation requires specific torque values: 55 ft-lbs with ARP lube. The rods are set up with tangs facing the exhaust side, mirroring the factory orientation, though their symmetrical design means side placement is not critical. A critical note for installation is that these rods are incompatible with stock pistons and require the use of forged pistons.\n\nZZP is a leading supplier of aftermarket performance parts for Ecotec and other GM platforms, engineering parts in-house to enhance engine performance.","brand":"ZZPerformance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52867013411128,"sku":"ZZ-24RODS","price":549.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687423863.webp?v=1787910080","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/4340-forged-connecting-rod-set-2-4l-le5-le9-lea","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
