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!

SCAT 4340 5.700" H-Beam Connecting Rods, Chevy Journals, 5/16" ARP 2000 Bolts, Balanced, Set of 4, 102534-2
SCAT 4340 5.700" H-Beam Connecting Rods, Chevy Journals, 5/16" ARP 2000 Bolts, Balanced, Set of 4, 102534-2
 
SCAT 4340 5.700" H-Beam Connecting Rods, Chevy Journals, 5/16" ARP 2000 Bolts, Balanced, Set of 4, 102534-2 are the finest non-Carrillo Connecting Rods available for your VW Engine. The strength and quality of these rods are an incredible value!
The 5.700" length is the perfect size for 86mm stroke cranks and "B" pistons, to keep the Rod Ratio within a reasonable range, for maxium power and piston, ring, and cylinder life. It is true you can get a "nicer" rod with a Titanium Rod, or a Genuine Carrillo, but for VW specific applications, the SCAT is the best, for only $50 more than "lesser" rod choices.
The 5/16" ARP 2000 Rod Bolt is VERY strong, and smaller than the 3/8" rod bolts, which means less case and cam clearancing to worry about. We have used these rods with 5/16" bolts on 90mm stroke engines that rev to 8000RPM for this reason. It is technically true that 3/8" bolts are stronger, but are they needed or necessary? In most every case the 5/16" ARP 2000 Bolt will do it's job with ease!
SCAT Connecting Rods are some of the finest available. The rod cap is precision dowel-pinned for alignment that will not change after disassembly. The rod cap and bearing will ALWAYS line up 100% like it did for the rod honing operation at the machine shop!
These rods are finish machined, and balanced, at the SCAT facility in California, USA! All SCAT Connecting rods feature:
Computerized machining processes which hold aerospace tolerance (EXTREMELY TIGHT!)
Center to center length +- .001"
Big and little end taper and bore sizes held to +- .0002"
Balanced overall and end for end in matched sets of 4, to +-1g.
SCAT 4340 high nickel and chrome content metalurgy ensures the highest tensile strength and fatigue strength from the multi-step heat treating process.
All SCAT rods are shot peened.
All SCAT rods are X-rayed, Sonic Tested, and Magnafluxed too!
We genuinely feel the SCAT rods are the best you can get. While other rods might be less $, if you absolutely cannot have a rod failure, getting a set of SCAT connecting rods is a must!
