Summit Racing is now stocking Oliver Racing con-rods but they advise that you don\u2019t buy them for a mild engine build. They are pretty much overkill for engines that never see the high side of 400bhp and RPMs over six grand or so.<\/p>\n

However, if you\u2019re building a big-horsepower, high RPM V8 engine, step right up and get a set of Oliver rods, which are based on four principles:<\/p>\n

Durability:<\/strong>\u00a0Oliver uses aircraft-quality, American-made 4340 AQ material that is vacuum-furnace de-gassed and inspected for cleanliness. That means better durability and fatigue resistance.<\/p>\n

Strength:<\/strong>\u00a0Oliver uses a two-stage heat treatment process. The first stage is designed to \u2018grow\u2019 the best metal grain structure possible. After machining, the rods get a second heat treatment to a Rockwell hardness of 38-41 – a 20 per cent improvement over its competitors. That means you get a connecting rod with higher tensile and yield strength.<\/p>\n

Precision:<\/strong>\u00a0Oliver\u2019s state-of-the-art machining facility is climate-controlled to within 2\u00b0 F variance. That means stable material and air temperatures that allow machining to extremely tight tolerances.<\/p>\n

Craftsmanship:<\/strong>\u00a0Oliver has been making connecting rods for over 30-years. Many of its employees have worked at Oliver their entire career, and they use that experience to make the best connecting rods possible.<\/p>\n

Summit Racing stock eight types of Oliver Racing connecting rods for all types of racing. Most are I-beam-style rods that feature Oliver\u2019s exclusive \u2018Parabolic Beam\u2019 design that reduces beam stress and delivers the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any connecting rod currently made.<\/p>\n
