R&R Pro Connecting Rod

R&R Pro Billet Aluminum
Connecting Rods

 

R&R Pro-series Connecting Rods are CNC machined out of their proprietary aluminum alloys developed exclusively for R&R. The Pro-series alloy has up to 24% increased tensile and yield strength over competitors rod alloys. All alloys are cold extruded under 2,000+ tons of pressure to ensure consistent grain flow and density. This yields the strongest and lightest rod possible with an exceptional fatigue life and reduced elongation. As with all our connecting rods, material has been ultrasonically tested, bores are precision honed to standards, mating surfaces are standard or circle-loc™ serrated for super-strength and perfect cap to rod alignment, and all corners are blended to eliminate stress risers. All connecting rods come standard with ARP rod bolts.

 

R&R Aluminum Connecting rods are available for most any import or domestic applications by providing a fully custom rod at little or no cost above that of an “off-the-shelf” product. Custom rods are our specialty. Our in-house team is capable of designing and manufacturing a single set of rods or a few hundred sets, reasonable priced, with the shortest turn around time possible, ensuring quick delivery so you spend more time on the track or strip than sitting in the stands! Dealer and volume pricing is available to those who qualify.

We use genuine ARP 8740, ARP 2000, ARP L19, or ARP Custom Age 625 bolts exclusively.

 

You may ask, why are R&R's rods made out of billets and not forgings. It is often believed nothing is better than a forged connecting rod. Even though our rods are manufactured out of what looks like a square stock, it should not be confused for a casting or a plate.

 

Unlike a forging in which the aluminum is literally pounded into the shape of a rod, our material is is cold worked, forced through a die at extreme pressures, to form the billets from which the rods are CNC'ed from. This work hardening builds the strength, grain structure, elasticity, and general characteristics that makes our rods superior to common forgings. Our alloy is then further artificially aged and heat treated, then stress relieved though additional manufacturing processes.

Customs are our specialty! Where our competition’s rods can't stay in your block, our connecting rods are built to stand up and survive whatever punishment your can dish out. We have thousands of customers who count on our rods and so can you!
