The Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit for the CRF450R 09-16 is a high-performance, heavy-duty replacement designed for durability and reliability at high RPM. Crafted from certified 8620 AISI steel, the connecting rods offer superior strength. The crankpins, made from hot-rolled ASTM 4115, are case-hardened to 58-62Rc for enhanced durability. The kit features the latest caged needle roller bearing designs for longevity and includes uniquely designed big ends with side scalloping and vent slots to minimize bearing race distortion at high RPM. The small ends are double drilled to provide extra lubrication and cooling to the wrist pin bearing, which is crucial when the piston crown is close to the wrist pin bearing. The rods are shot-peened to eliminate surface stress risers and ensure a smooth blend of the rod forging's radiuses. Double honing creates an ultra-round bearing surface for high RPM reliability. Each kit includes a connecting rod, crankpin, crankpin bearing, wrist pin bearing, and phosphor bronze thrust washers that are silver-coated for improved sliding at reduced temperatures. Compatible with both Hot Rods and OEM crankshafts, this kit is an affordable, premium-quality replacement option for high-performance engines.
