Made from select 4340 chromoly steel, these rods feature an optimized strength-to-weight ratio, with extensive material testing and precise manufacturing processes including heat-treating, tempering, and shot-peening. Each rod is magna-fluxed to ensure structural integrity and consistency. Developed over nearly three years using Finite Element Analysis, the Alpha Series rods are capable of handling over 900 horsepower. Their straight design distributes stress evenly across a larger area, while two-piece forgings with grain orientation along the rod cap increase overall strength. Dual offset oil passages at the pin ends provide enhanced lubrication and cooling, reducing wear and increasing durability during high-stress operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese connecting rods are specifically engineered for Honda D16 and ZC engines, making them suitable for performance upgrades in various applications. They are ideal for high-revving street, track, or drag use, providing a reliable upgrade for engines requiring increased strength and durability. Designed as direct replacements for stock rods, they fit Honda D16\/ZC engines from various years and chassis codes. Installation involves replacing the original rods with these forged units, ensuring improved performance and longevity under demanding conditions. The kit includes the rods themselves, ready for installation in compatible Honda D16\/ZC engines, supporting high-power builds and aggressive driving scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Skunk2 Racing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52559631974687,"sku":"306-05-1110","price":471.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0229\/3877\/files\/fce3e9e03741e774ca60928664933bcc.jpg?v=1779419537","url":"https:\/\/shop.wheelflip.com\/products\/skunk2-alpha-series-honda-d16-zc-connecting-rods","provider":"WheelFlip","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
