Creating one with a reasonable weight that works well in \u003cbr\u003etoday's high rpm european applications, and holds up to a lifetime of torture is another story. \u003cbr\u003eIn order to create this balance of strength and light weight, an H beam design is utlized.

Rifle drilling will put a small pathway through the center of the rod from the bearing to the wrist pin. This pathway allows pressurized oil from the rod bearing to feed extra oil to the wrist pin itself, causing less wear and friction between the rod and piston and increasing the life of the internals. We highly recommend this option in high horsepower and increased rev applications. \u003cbr\u003eYou can select the rifle drilled option at an additional 25.00 a rod.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.urotuning.com\/collections\/integrated-engineering\"\u003eIntegrated Engineering\u003c\/a\u003e: Merging decades of experience with hundreds of hours of prototyping, engineering, dyno testing and daily usage evaluation has output exhaust systems that are the ultimate compliment to your performance car.
