rod set - stroker H beam rods 5.394" vw journal Empi
Part number:
8310
Your cost:
$360.00
Description:
Empi's H beam rods are a must if you are planning on building an all out performance engine.
Race proven H beam design combines weight savings & high strength thanks to the forged 4340 chromoly construction.
Radiused rod caps help reduce that amount of clearancing required on stroker applications & are sleeved to the rod to eliminate cap shifting.
Precision computer machined rods are magna fluxed & sold in matched weight sets of 4.
All held together with forged 8740 bolts capable of withstanding 200,000 psi tensile load.
Empi's H-beam rods are the perfect match to their stroker cranks.
Sold as a set of 4.
A long rod will give a slower piston speed, and therefore a longer life for the rings and cylinder walls, but this also causes the cylinders to fill up slowly when the piston moves down during the inlet stroke. Of course, once the rpm builds this is overcome, hence the higher power band. A shorter rod will, of course, fill the cylinder much faster and therefore give more power at lower engine speeds, but be limited to a lower rev range.
Shown here on a 2275 build and again in a 1968cc build
