Description

K1 Technologies connecting rods are manufactured with optimized strength and weight characteristics in mind to deliver reliable performance. Forged from 4340 steel, K1 rods featured a shot-peened surface finish which smooths surface blends and reduces potential stress profiles. K1 connecting rods are held to strict quality standards and undergo magnetic particle testing to ensure material properties are free of flaws. Each rod is also subject to bore tolerance compliance, holding them to +/- .0001 after finishing. Additionally, K1 rods are balanced and tested to be within +/- 1 gram per end. A dual-ribbing design on the rod caps of K1 connecting rods helps maximize strength and allows the rod big end to maintain roundness as engine RPMs increase. Full-floating, precision-honed bronze bushings are fixed into the small ends of the rods for low friction and high wear resistance. Fitted with ARP 2000 rod bolts rated at 200,000 psi tensile strength for most applications, K1 connecting rods deliver an industry-leading combination of strength and value.

Additional Info

With many years in the field of designing, engineering and manufacturing connecting rods and crankshafts we will do our best to provide you with great products and world class customer service. We welcome your phone calls, comments, requests and certainly welcome the opportunity to be your company of choice when it comes to connecting rods and crankshafts.

Our Commitment 
We at K1 Technologies strive to bring our customers a high-quality connecting rod at an affordable price, while providing world-class customer service. We will treat our customers with respect, realizing that it is our privilege to be your source of connecting rods and crankshafts.

What Sets Us Apart
K1 Technologies produces "RACEREADY" rods and cranks at very affordable prices. Our connecting rods and crankshafts are a cut above the average imported rod. They are made to our designs and are held to some of the tightest accepted tolerances in the racing industry. More attention is shown to finish work than comparable products. A wide variety of sizes and applications are available, from the Sport Compact sizes through Small Block and Big Block Chevy and Mopar, including some custom and specialty sizes. Our unique design, which is original to the K1 Technologies line of connecting rods, saves weight without sacrificing strength. We use ARP bolts exclusively.

Quality and Materials
Premium 4340 steel is used to manufacture all our connecting rods and crankshafts. We only use ARP fasteners, with ARP 2000 included standard and 625+ Custom Age bolts available as an upgrade. Bearing bore tolerances are held to +/-.0001". Bronze bushings allow for a full-floating pin. Press-fit pins are available on some rod sizes. All connecting rods are 100% designed, finished and inspected in the USA.

Process
All of our crankshafts are made from 4340 material; core hardened for increased tensile strength and fatigue life and are 100% mag particle inspected. Bearing surfaces are polished and nitrided for wear resistance. Before any finish work is done, our rods are 100% mag particle inspected. ARP bolts are installed and tightened to our exacting specifications prior to honing to insure accurate and repeatable bore geometry. All K1 Technologies connecting rods are honed in-house and sizes are held to some of the tightest accepted tolerances in the industry. Rods are weight-matched into sets and boxed, with the rotating, reciprocating and total weights noted for convenient use in the balancing process.
