A connecting rod is the mechanical link between the piston and the crankshaft. By design, connecting rods convert vertical motion into rotary motion, eventually yielding torque at the flywheel. By ...

Researchers aim to meld the best attributes of both the power-dense two-stroke and the vastly cleaner four-stroke engines.

Engine failures that many racers blame on the connecting rods are often actually installation mistakes. When their characteristics are correctly understood, connecting rods can be one of the strongest ...
