JE Pistons offers cutting-edge piston design with their new LS asymmetrical pistons, marking the start of a line-up of pro-level pistons for everyday consumers. Hot Rod Features ...

As connecting rod length is increased, piston motion (both acceleration and velocity) away from TDC decreases. This results in a slower rate of pressure drop across the inlet path, ...

Bushed or Pressed. Research connecting rods and you will find that there are two basic ways pistons are mounted to them. A bushed rod features a bronze bushing in the small end that the wristpin ...

The free-piston engine has some similarities to the OPOC but generally only uses two pistons per module. The pistons are attached to each end of a solid connecting rod and oscillate back and forth ...

The company has only developed the rods as drop-in replacements for 5.3- and 6.2-liter LS V8 engines from General Motors thus far. In its own testing, Transcend says it was able to tune the 5.3 to ...

As the piston moves up and down, the connecting rod is moving with it. The rod is attached with a pin (the wrist pin) so it can swing a little from side to side.

We’ll see here how to correctly assemble the pistons and connecting rods back together and place them in the right cylinders, a very important part if you don’t want you engine to blow up in ...

Research shows that building connecting rods out of carbon fiber can reduce their weight by anywhere between 40 and 50 percent. In a V12 engine, the weight loss translates to more power, and ...
