Connecting Rod

This connecting rod serves as the vital mechanical link between the piston and the crankshaft within the engine block. Its primary function is to transfer the force generated by combustion directly to the crankshaft, effectively converting linear piston motion into the rotation needed to power the vehicle. As a core internal component, it plays a decisive role in the overall efficiency and timing of the engine.

Because this component operates under high stress and rapid movement, structural integrity is crucial for engine longevity. A properly functioning connecting rod ensures smooth power delivery and maintains the correct compression ratio during operation. Replacing a damaged or bent rod is essential to prevent catastrophic engine damage and restore original performance levels.
