OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

5.325" I-Beam Connecting Rods, Type 1 Journals, Balanced, Set of 4
5.325" I-Beam Connecting Rods, Type 1 Journals, Balanced, Set of 4
 
5.325" I-Beam Connecting Rods, Type 1 Journals, Balanced, Set of 4 are ideal for use with 74 cranks and "A" pistons, to minimize the amount of cylinder spacer you need. These also solve push rod length, cylinder tin, and exhaust fitment issues. These are clearanced for stroker use, minimizing your expense and elbow grease required for installation! These are the same rods we use in our ACN Mini-Stroker Long Blocks too!

It's important to know that we recommend these rods with 74mm cranks and A pistons. If you are using a 76mm crank, you are better off using 5.5" rods and "B" pistons. You can use 5.325" rods with a 76mm crank and A pistons, but will likely run into piston skirt to crank clearance issues, which is another hurdle to overcome. That is why our recommendations are so specific.

Regardless of which way you go, understand that we recommend that you install the rods on the crank, the install the pistons on the rods, and check the skirt clearance to the crank's counter weights. You may have to clearance the piston skirts prior to balancing the pistons.
