K1 Technologies H-Beam Connecting Rods, 08-09 Caliber SRT-4

Model Number: 223196

We now carry K1 Technologies H-Beam Connecting Rods for the 08-09 Caliber SRT-4.

These rods can support up to 600 horsepower and beyond. These will work great with your factory crank, and with factory or aftermarket rod bearings.

K1 Technologies connecting rods are manufactured with optimized strength and weight characteristics in mind to deliver reliable performance. Forged from 4340 steel, K1 rods featured a shot-peened surface finish which smooths surface blends and reduces potential stress profiles. K1 connecting rods are held to strict quality standards and undergo magnetic particle testing to ensure material properties are free of flaws. Each rod is also subject to bore tolerance compliance, holding them to +/- .0001" after finishing. Additionally, K1 rods are balanced and tested to be within +/- 1 gram per end. A dual-ribbing design on the rod caps of K1 connecting rods helps maximize strength and allows the rod big end to maintain roundness as engine RPMs increase. Full-floating, precision-honed bronze bushings are fixed into the small ends of the rods for low friction and high wear resistance. Fitted with ARP 2000 rod bolts rated at 200,000 psi tensile strength for most applications, K1 connecting rods deliver an industry-leading combination of strength and value.

This listing is for a set of four rods. These rods include ARP 2000 rod bolts for serious horsepower holding capacity!

      With these rods, will OEM rod bearings work or would we need different size

        Correct, these are designed for OEM sized rod bearings.
    • Jason Hinrichs
      I see you said these work with oem rod bearings, but oem rod bearings are listed in 3 sizes. Which is it?
      1 Answer
      • Customer Service Rep

        These work with all bearing sizes, because the variance in the rod bearing is not on the rod side of the bearing, its in the inner portion of the bearing. Because if you machine the crankshaft due to problems/scoring, then you need a thicker bearing, and that's on the crankshaft side of the bearing, not the rod.
