Aftermarket Forged Steel Rods
           Attention to detail and better parent material are the main
attractions offered by aftermarket forged steel rods. Though the
forging process is much the same, aftermarket rods are typically made
from high carbon SAE steel such as 4340, 4140 and 4330 that is far
superior to the low carbon 51 series steel used in most OE forged
rods. The SAE certification system quantifies the purity of the metal via
microscopic examination that computes phosphorous and sulphur
content, individual grain size and other key indicators. By using SAE
certified material, makers (and users) of aftermarket forged rods can
rest assured that hidden impurities are not lurking deep within the
molecules to compromise strength.                                                       

          Most aftermarket forged rods benefit from extra care during the
critical machining operations. This alone can make or break a
connecting rod.......literally. The assumption that careful hands have
assured closer tolerances and accuracy in the finished product is a
valid one. Usually no heavier than stock rods, aftermarket forged rods
already come equipped with premium fasteners and should be
included in any street ans strip engine assembly that will run in excess
of 6,500 rpm with stock stroke or 5,500 rpm with increased stroke. The
price keep tumbling and more application are available now than ever.
There's no excuse not to step up.
