Ford built these engines to run hard, and this connecting rod matches that durability. The forged steel construction and precise machining mean it’ll handle the stresses of heavy loads, long hours, and varying RPMs without failure. The 38mm bush provides the proper fit for your engine’s design, ensuring reliable operation through countless hours of use.

Good to Know

Connecting rod replacement requires a complete engine teardown, so it’s typically done during a full rebuild or major engine repair. If you’re doing this job, it’s the perfect time to check your main bearings, rod bearings, and other internal components. Most experienced mechanics recommend having the crankshaft checked for straightness and proper journal dimensions when doing connecting rod work.
