Eagle CRS6260V3D Connecting Rods

The Eagle CRS6260V3D connecting rods are engineered for performance, crafted from forged 4340 steel for superior strength while remaining significantly lighter than factory rods. These H-beam rods are designed to withstand the demands of high-performance applications, making them an ideal choice for enthusiasts looking to enhance their engine's capabilities.

Construction and Features

Each rod undergoes a rigorous manufacturing process, including:

  • Multi-stage heat treatment for durability
  • X-ray inspection to ensure integrity
  • Sonic testing and magnafluxing to detect any flaws
  • Complete machining for precise fitment
  • Shot-peening to relieve stress in the metal

These rods feature precision cap alignment sleeves that ensure accurate positioning of each rod cap. They come equipped with silicon bronze bushings suitable for floating pin models, and are clearanced for stroker applications, allowing for additional cam-to-rod clearance in larger stroke configurations. The rods are available with either ARP 8740 or ARP 2000 rod bolts, rated at 190,000 psi and 230,000 psi respectively, with an option for ARP L-19 bolts rated at 265,000 psi for those seeking maximum strength.

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.
