Crafted from select 4340 chromoly steel, these rods feature an advanced H-beam design that provides an optimal strength-to-weight ratio, making them suitable for engines producing over 900 horsepower. Extensive material testing and collaboration with the foundry ensure high-quality manufacturing, while comprehensive heat-treating, tempering, and shot-peening processes maintain consistent strength and fatigue resistance. Each rod undergoes magna-flux inspection to verify structural integrity, reflecting Skunk2's commitment to quality and safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned with precision, these rods utilize two-piece forgings that align the grain structure along the stress lines, significantly increasing strength. The straight, non-tapered design distributes stress evenly across the entire length, reducing wear and enhancing durability during high-stress operation. Dual oil passages at the pin ends improve lubrication and cooling, ensuring consistent performance across engine cycles. These features help prevent wear and extend the lifespan of the rods, especially in high-power environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rods are compatible with most pistons without requiring machining at the pin end, and they include 3\/8-inch ARP2000 bolts for reliable clamping force. Bronze wrist pin bushings further reduce friction and wear, while balanced to within plus or minus 1 gram for smooth operation. With a length of approximately 5.4 inches and a weight of around 17.9 ounces per rod, the Skunk2 Alpha Series rods are a trusted choice for enthusiasts seeking maximum performance and engine reliability. Suitable for Honda Civic del Sol and Civic models from 1992 to 1995, these rods are ideal for racing, turbocharged, and high-performance builds, delivering the strength needed to push your engine to its limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eForged from 4340 chromoly steel for maximum strength and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eH-beam design with an optimal strength-to-weight ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDual oil passages at pin ends for enhanced lubrication and cooling\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eTwo-piece forging with aligned grain flow for increased strength\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHeat-treated, shot-peened, and magna-flux inspected for quality assurance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCompatible with most pistons without machining at the pin end\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncludes 3\/8-inch ARP2000 bolts for reliable clamping\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBronze wrist pin bushings for reduced friction and wear\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBalanced within plus or minus 1 gram for smooth operation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eRated to handle engines producing over 900 horsepower\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFitment:\n\u003cbr\u003e1992 Honda Civic EX\n\u003cbr\u003e1992 Honda Civic Si\n\u003cbr\u003e1993 Honda Civic EX\n\u003cbr\u003e1993 Honda Civic Si\n\u003cbr\u003e1993 Honda Civic del Sol Si\n\u003cbr\u003e1994 Honda Civic EX\n\u003cbr\u003e1994 Honda Civic Si\n\u003cbr\u003e1994 Honda Civic del Sol Si\n\u003cbr\u003e1995 Honda Civic EX\n\u003cbr\u003e1995 Honda Civic Si\n\u003cbr\u003e1995 Honda Civic del Sol Si\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Skunk2 Racing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46078393581767,"sku":"skk306-05-1110","price":496.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0665\/2277\/5751\/files\/a69546100180e5701615aebd3afbe15a.jpg?v=1768175932","url":"https:\/\/mainstreeteshop.com\/products\/skunk2-alpha-series-honda-d16-zc-connecting-rods-forged-4340-chromoly-steel-rated-to-900-hp","provider":"MAIN STREET ESHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
