A connecting rod is the mechanical link between the piston and the crankshaft. By design, connecting rods convert vertical motion into rotary motion, eventually yielding torque at the flywheel. By ...

A connecting rod may be the most stressed component within an engine—absorbing compressive loads and resisting centrifugal forces during each crank revolution. When considering how robust a connecting ...

In the last session of the EJ20 build-up, the block's deck was reworked and the cylinders were punched out over at RS Machine. With the machine work done, it was time to assemble the water boxer ...

Many efforts have been made recently in developing P/M connecting rod. As a result, some P/M forged connecting rods were put into practical usage. However, P/M forging process has a disadvantage in ...
