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!

5.158" 4340 Forged Chromoly H-Beam Connecting Rods, ARP  Rod Bolts, 2.0L Journals w/24mm Pin, Balanced, Set of 4, 004-5158H-ARP
5.158" 4340 Forged Chromoly H-Beam Connecting Rods, ARP Rod Bolts, 2.0L Journals w/24mm Pin, Balanced, Set of 4, 004-5158H-ARP
Price: $449.95

5.158" 4340 Forged Chromoly H-Beam Connecting Rods, ARP Rod Bolts, 2.0L Journals w/24mm Pin, Balanced, Set of 4, 004-5158H-ARP begin as new Chrome Moly forgings instead of used stock rod cores. Stock 2.0L Rods are horrible, they are 2x as heavy as they should be! These rods are far stronger and lighter! These connecting rods have a slim big end for stroker use, minimizing your expense and elbow grease required for installation!

These come in matching sets of 4, and are already balanced overall and end to end. We have used these over 8k RPMs and have not yet had a failure with them!

Now if you want to build a 78mm stroker, here's one way to go. Since this rod is clearanced on the big end, it will fit a 78mm stroke in the stock case without clearancing! However, you'll need to shim the cylinder .130", we do this with a head gasket on top, AND a cylinder base shim (Combined to total ~.130"). This way the stock push rod tubes still work fine.
