Rifle Drilled

Rifle drilling will increase the longevity of the pin by allowing extra lubrication.

I-Beam

The I-Beam design handles high compressive loads while also providing excellent torsional stiffness.

Honing & CMM

Every connecting rod is measured on our in house CMM (coordinate measuring machine) and honed to ensure our connecting rod tolerances are set correctly.

ARP Bolts

All CTS Turbo connecting rods use ARP 2000 rod bolts
