Forged 4340 H-Beam Connecting Rod with ARP Bolts

The Eagle Specialty Products CRS6000B3D-1 is a forged 4340 steel H-beam connecting rod engineered for high-performance and competition applications. Constructed from a two-piece forging of vacuum-degassed, 4340-certified steel, this rod offers exceptional strength while maintaining a lighter weight compared to stock components. Each rod undergoes a rigorous multi-stage heat-treatment process, followed by X-ray, sonic testing, magnafluxing, and 100% machining, culminating in a shot-peened finish to relieve internal stresses. Key features include precision cap alignment sleeves for accurate cap placement and silicon bronze bushings for floating pin compatibility. The H-beam design incorporates a double-pass machined cavity for optimal rigidity and minimal weight. This specific model is not clearanced for stroker applications. It utilizes ARP 8740 chromoly steel capscrew rod bolts, rated at 190,000 psi tensile strength, ensuring proven reliability. The rod is designed with pin oiling holes in the rod channel for a continuous oil supply. This connecting rod is intended for Small Block Chevy engines and is sold individually. For proper installation, it is recommended to torque the ARP bolts to 63 ft-lbs using ARP moly lube only. Eagle Specialty Products emphasizes quality control, using certified steel and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure their parts meet the demands of high-performance engines.
