Overview

The Bad News Racing connecting rod is designed for the GM LE2 Engine. These rods are significantly stronger than stock components, capable of handling increased stress. They are a recommended addition for those using BNR Pistons on their LE2 engine.
Show original supplier description
The Bad News Racing connecting rods are the first of their kind for the GM LE2 Engine. They are presented as an ideal complement to BNR Pistons, forming a robust foundation for an upgraded LE2 engine. Please note that these connecting rods are made to order, with an estimated delivery time of 4-6 weeks. These connecting rods are specifically designed for the 1.4T LE2 engine. They are explicitly stated to NOT fit the 1.5T engine. Compatibility is confirmed for the 2016+ Chevrolet Cruze 1.4T LE2, the 2016+ Buick Encore 1.4T LE2, and the 2019+ Vanderhall Venice Blackjack models equipped with the LE2 engine.

Shipping

Orders are processed in 1–3 business days. In stock parts ship promptly from our partner network. Special-order items either aren’t currently stocked or are built to your spec — expect 4–6 weeks. If a part goes on backorder while your order is in the queue, we’ll reach out and work through discounted alternatives together.

Free shipping over $200 in the continental US. Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories (Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands), and international orders carry surcharges — most appear at checkout. Some exceptions (LTL freight, or suppliers who quote freight only after we place the order) won’t. In those cases we’ll reach out with the exact charge before your order moves forward.
