Hey there! If you're diving into some serious engine builds or just looking to upgrade your ride, let me tell you about these Eagle Extreme Duty Connecting Rods. These bad boys are forged from 4340 steel, which means they’re built to take a beating. We're talking about a two-piece forging process that really amps up their durability. Plus, they’re fully machined, shot-peened, and polished, so they not only perform well but look great too.
Now, if you’re into specifics, here’s the scoop: these rods have a center-to-center length of 5.483 inches and a pin size of 0.788 inches. They’re designed to fit snugly in your Ford Focus Zetec from 2000 to 2003, and they’re bushing-ready for a full-floating piston pin. You’ll find that the sizing is spot on, which is crucial if you’re pushing your engine to the limit.
Each rod weighs in at about 535 grams, making them lightweight yet incredibly strong. And don’t worry about the bolts; we’ve got you covered with 3/8" ARP Custom Age 625+ bolts that will hold everything together nicely. Whether you’re racing or just want to ensure your engine runs smoothly under pressure, these connecting rods are definitely up to the task.
Here’s a quick rundown of the features:
So if you’re ready to take your Ford Focus to the next level, these Eagle Extreme Duty Connecting Rods are a solid choice. They’re built for those who don’t just want to keep up with the competition but want to leave them in the dust.
