A connecting rod is the mechanical link between the piston and the crankshaft. By design, connecting rods convert vertical motion into rotary motion, eventually yielding torque at the flywheel. By ...

When you consider the crazy monkey motion of reciprocating internal combustion engines it is remarkable they work as well as they do. You have eight pistons and connecting rods doing a “do-si-do” ...

The increasing number of stroker crankshafts available is giving builders more options when planning a street-performance or race engine combination. The benefits of a stroker crankshaft, however, ...

Utah's Transcend Energy Group claims it has a relatively simple and cheap way to dramatically increase the torque output of combustion engines, simply by replacing the standard connecting rods with ...

It is generally acknowledged that connecting rod geometry, particularly center-to-center length, can have a material influence on a variety of engine conditions. These include specific relationships ...
