Skunk2's Alpha Series Connecting Rods are a top - notch choice for high - performance engines. Crafted from premium 4340 chromoly steel with an H - beam design, they offer an unbeatable strength - to - weight ratio. Skunk2 conducts extensive material testing and collaborates closely with its foundry, ensuring high - quality rods at a great price. The rods go through comprehensive heat - treating, tempering, and shot - peening processes, guaranteeing consistency and strength. Each rod is magna - fluxed to meet Skunk2's strict standards. Engineered over nearly three years, these H - beam rods can handle over 900 hp. Using FEA, engineers identified high - stress points and added features to reduce wear and boost strength. The straight design distributes stress better than tapered rods. Made from two - piece forgings, they have optimal grain orientation for increased strength and a precision - tight fit. Additionally, dual oil passages at the pin ends provide extra lubrication and cooling, making the rods stronger and more durable. These rods fit multiple models including the 2013 - 2016 Scion FR - S, 2013 - 2020 Subaru BRZ, and 2017 - 2020 Toyota 86.

Using these Skunk2 Alpha Series Connecting Rods is straightforward. First, make sure your engine is off and cooled down before installation. Carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions for fitting the rods into your engine. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the rods for any signs of wear or damage, like cracks or excessive scratches. Keep the engine well - lubricated to ensure the dual oil passages work effectively. If you notice any unusual noises or performance issues from your engine, it's a good idea to have the rods inspected by a professional. Also, make sure to use high - quality engine oil to maintain the best performance of the rods.
