Skunk2 Alpha Series Honda K20A/Z Connecting Rods - 306-05-1140

Alpha Series Rods are forged from select 4340 chromoly steel and feature a straight H-beam design, resulting in the ultimate strength-to-weight ratio. 4340 chromoly is one of the strongest materials available, however, not all 4340 chromoly is the same. As such, Skunk2 relies on extensive material testing and works closely with its foundry to produce high-quality rods at an affordable price. Comprehensive heat-treating, tempering, and shot-peening processes together ensure that each Alpha Series Rod remains consistent and strong. Finally, each rod is magna-fluxed to ensure integrity and that each process has been completed thoroughly and according to Skunk2’s rigid specifications.

Whether its for a full rebuild or some standard maintenance, the proper engine components are needed to make sure your vehicle is running smooth.

Connecting rods connect your engine's pistons to the crankshaft. Replacing your connecting rods doesn't necessarily add horsepower, however they are essential for maintaining horsepower. If your are looking to boost your car and make high numbers of power, we strongly recommend replacing your OEM connecting rods with a stronger aftermarket setup.
