{"product_id":"forged-connecting-rod-set-with-arp-2000-bolts","title":"Forged Connecting Rod Set with ARP 2000 Bolts","description":"The Pauter 164\/20 cross-beam design rod set is engineered for demanding performance applications in VW\/Audi 12v and 24v VR6 engines that utilize 5\/16\" rod bolts. Forged from vacuum melt chromoly (E4340), these connecting rods feature a unique cross-beam structure that enhances strength and reliability by eliminating thin, non-uniform cross-sections and dispersing stress over a larger area. Each rod is CNC machined to precise tolerances, heat-treated to Rockwell C36, and fully shotpeened for maximum durability.\n\nThis set includes six rods, balanced end-to-end, and comes standard with ARP 2000 bolts, rated at 220,000 psi tensile strength. They are designed to accept OEM rod bearings or 034Motorsport coated rod bearings and feature aluminum-bronze wrist pin bushings. Pauter's design also aims to reduce windage and provides a streamlined contour for improved performance. Optional EDM pressure-fed oiling to the pin is available at an additional cost, though not always recommended.\n\nImportant Note: This specific rod set does not fit VR6 engines found in the R32 models that utilize 3\/8\" rod bolts. Dedicated R32 connecting rods are available separately.","brand":"Pauter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52867542876472,"sku":"R32-200-568-1640F","price":1476.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687953901.jpg?v=1787911826","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/forged-connecting-rod-set-with-arp-2000-bolts","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
