K1’s engineering team has designed a proven H-Beam forging from 4340 chrome moly material that offers increased strength and durability through better-aligned grain flow. The forging is precision machined and shot-peened to reduce potential stress risers and improve service life. The rod length is 6.319” center-to-center.

Added durability is assured through the use of ARP2000 rod bolts, which are nominally rated at 220,000 psi tensile strength and facilitate the higher clamping loads necessary for total reliability in competition applications.
