Perhaps obscure is the fact that while longer connecting rods produce a larger included angle between rod axis and crank throw (stroke) at the same piston position and crank angle, it is piston ...

The company has only developed the rods as drop-in replacements for 5.3- and 6.2-liter LS V8 engines from General Motors thus far. In its own testing, Transcend says it was able to tune the 5.3 to ...

A problem with International A26 engines has led Navistar to recall approximately 6,883 model year 2018-2021 International HV, 2018-2020 International HX, 2018-2019 International LT and ...

ABSTRACT The advent of more efficient direct injection turbocharged engines has increased the need for higher performance connecting rods, able to withstand in particular higher compressive loads in ...

If you're hip to the 7.3L Power Stroke segment, you know (or soon will) that connecting rod failures are more common in '99 to '03 7.3L engines that utilize powdered-metal rods-especially if the ...

Enormous, straight-through ports lead to big, 2.200/1.610-inch valves held at a 12-degree angle (versus the 15-degree of most other LS engines). The intake ports measure 270 cc and the as-cast ...

The engines fitted to these vehicles are the four-cylinder 2.4-liter Theta II MPI and 2.0-liter Nu GDI, and their problem boils down to “potential excessive connecting rod bearing wear.” ...
