Technical Info....
This is our unique single rib design E- 4340 chrome-moly forged rod. This rod is available for import, domestic, and now motorcycle engines. Overall, the clean, windage-reducing design and strength of these Pauter rods has proven to be extremely popular with racers, and their consistent high quality and excellent finish has resulted in many satisfied customers. We now offer these rods in three weight categories to accommodate varying horsepower demands.
4340 BILLET RODS Different - by Design
Years of hands-on experience, working with rods of all shapes and materials, of all types of racing and racing-related abuse, with design failures (and successes), has resulted in a fairly comprehensive file on just what works - and what doesn't - on the subject of high performance connecting rods. From this body of knowledge we have selected and incorporated the elements into what it is we think a great rod should be. Right off, our rod looks different, that's obvious, but for some not so obvious and very good reasons.
For starters, the simple beam design completely eliminates thin and non-uniform cross sections over the total length of the beam. This feature greatly improves resistance to crack-induced metal fatigue. In addition, the non-tapered profile of the beam helps to spread potentially harmful stress over a larger area, dispersing instead of concentrating these destructive loads. The design also efficiently places needed material in critical transitional areas, giving maximum support exactly where it is needed (such as directly under the wrist pin). The streamlined contour also provides subtle benefits in the form of windage reduction and breather/catch can function (so our customers tell us). The main beam rib itself continues around the wrist pin boss, perfectly integrating the beam to the pin boss, a small, but important contribution to overall structural unity. Pauter rods are indeed, different by design.
If you don't see what you want, we can build custom rods for any application.

All rods come standard with precision rod cap alignment sleeves pressed into the rod body to accurately and repeatedly locate the cap, restrict split line creep and maintain bore concentricity. All rods are manufactured with aluminum bronze wrist pin bushings unless no bushing is specifically requested. Rods can be ordered with upgrade bolts if desired (this extra cost option must be coordinated with our tech department in advance). Direct pressure fed pin oiling (rifle drilling) is also an extra cost option but must be requested at the time of order. Rods outside our forging limits will be machined from the same material in solid bar stock, but will not follow normal pricing and delivery figures quoted in this web or other Pauter literature.
