The Hot Rods 8720 connecting rod and crankshaft repair kit is designed to restore serviceable Polaris engine crankshafts without replacing the complete assembly. This premium-quality kit includes the critical components needed for a dependable rebuild, including a forged connecting rod, crank pin, crank bearing, wrist pin bearing, and thrust washers. It is engineered for repair applications on select Polaris Sportsman 850 and Sportsman XP 1000 models.
The connecting rod is manufactured from case-hardened 8620 AISI forged steel for strength and durability under demanding engine conditions. The 8620 AISI carburized crank pin provides a tough, wear-resistant surface and reliable performance. SAE-recommended phosphor bronze thrust washers help support proper crankshaft movement, while the high-quality silver-coated crankpin bearing improves sliding performance and helps reduce operating temperatures. A wrist pin bearing is also included for a complete repair solution.
