The Hot Rods HR00172 Connecting Rod Kit provides the essential components needed to rebuild and repair compatible Yamaha 700 engines. Designed as a practical alternative to replacing an entire crankshaft assembly, this kit includes a forged connecting rod, crank pin, crank bearing, wrist pin bearing, and thrust washers. The complete component package supports a dependable engine rebuild while helping restore proper crankshaft operation.
The connecting rod is manufactured from 8620 AISI forged steel and case hardened for strength and durability. The 8620 AISI carburized crank pin is designed to withstand demanding engine loads, while the high-quality silver-coated crank pin bearing promotes smooth sliding performance and reduced operating temperatures. The included wrist pin bearing and SAE-recommended phosphor bronze thrust washers complete the rebuild solution.
