Construction and Features

The CRS6243C3D rods are meticulously crafted through a two-piece forging process, followed by a series of advanced treatments to maximize durability. Each rod undergoes:

  • Multi-stage heat treatment
  • X-ray inspection
  • Sonic testing
  • Magnafluxing for crack detection
  • 100% machining for precision
  • Shot-peening to relieve stress

These processes ensure that the rods can handle high RPMs and increased power levels without compromising structural integrity.

Precision Engineering

Eagle has incorporated precision cap alignment sleeves into the design of the CRS6243C3D, ensuring accurate rod cap positioning. For floating pin applications, silicon bronze bushings are included, enhancing the performance of the connecting rods in high-stress environments. Additionally, these rods are compatible with stroker applications, providing extra clearance for larger cam-to-rod combinations.

Rod Bolts and Installation

The CRS6243C3D rods come equipped with high-strength ARP rod bolts, available in various PSI ratings to suit your performance needs:

  • Standard: 190,000 psi rated ARP 8740 bolts
  • Optional upgrade: 230,000 psi rated ARP 2000 bolts
  • High-performance option: 265,000 psi rated ARP L-19 bolts

Installation instructions and rod bolt lubrication are included, ensuring a straightforward setup process for your engine build.

Who is EAGLE?

EAGLE SPECIALTY PRODUCTS, aka EAGLE, has been at the forefront of developing top-quality engine components. The company officially started back in 1992 but has been developing their product for ten years prior.  Since the company started, it has continuously produced some of the market's best engine components and is widely used by engine builders worldwide.

Imitated But Not Duplicated

Due to the company's success, its products have been imitated by other companies even up to the part numbers. But the similarity ends only up to how they look. EAGLE uses the finest materials and has invested in the most state-of-the-art manufacturing machinery for them to create a product that would be able to take any punishment it is subjected to. It is tested to be superior to other brands and considered the best upgrade for OEM counterparts.

No To Shortcuts

The company sets the benchmark on how valves should be properly made. Using their years of experience creating rods, they have already designed over 200 different rods and 180 crankshafts. The company does not allow cost to compromise its material used, manufacturing process, and quality test. 

High-End Quality

All of Eagle's products are made up of high-quality materials. They use certified 4340 Chromoly steel. Using their own special heat treatment process, they are able to create a product that is much stronger compared to other competitors using the same raw material. 

They manufacture their rods using a 2-piece forging process that allows the rod to be stronger. This process orients the "grain" of the metal to the direction of the stress. Eagle uses a state-of-the-art Sunnen Krossgrinding system that allows them to create perfect cuts and bore consistently.
