Restore the performance and service life of your engine with the Hot Rods 8609 Precision Crafted High Performance Connecting Rod Kit. Designed for select Honda TRX400X and TRX400EX Sportrax models, this complete crankshaft repair solution includes the essential components needed for a reliable rebuild. The kit contains a connecting rod, crank pin, crank bearing, wrist pin bearing, and thrust washers.
The connecting rod is manufactured from AISI 8620 forged steel and case hardened for strength and durability under demanding engine conditions. The crank pin is also made from carburized AISI 8620 steel to provide dependable wear resistance and long-term performance. High-quality silver-coated crankpin bearings promote smooth sliding operation and reduced operating temperatures, while the included wrist pin bearing supports proper piston-to-rod movement.
SAE-recommended phosphor bronze thrust washers complete the assembly and help maintain appropriate crankshaft alignment. By repairing the existing crankshaft instead of replacing the entire assembly, the Hot Rods 8609 kit offers a practical and cost-effective solution for engine rebuilding. Verify the application and engine specifications before installation to ensure proper fitment.
