3SX Custom Connecting Rods - 3000GT / Stealth
3SX introduces custom rods for the 6G72 from a respected rod manufacturer! These are a full set of custom made forged H-beam
connecting rods for the 6G72 DOHC engines, designed to work in high horsepower applications. They are strengthened around the
crank and piston-pin journals to better disperse the forces. Also, the piston pin journal has an oil groove to help with oil circulation
around the pin. These are designed to work with the stock crank and stock sized wrist pins - all of our Ross pistons include stock-sized
free-floating pins so will pair perfectly with these rods. We also include ARP-2000 rod bolts so you can be sure you are getting
only the best parts for your custom engine build!
TORQUE SPECS: The included ARP rod bolts should be torqued to 45-ft/lb with 30wt oil.
NOTE: These will not work with stock OEM pistons as those are not designed for full-floating setup - the stock pistons don't
used spirallocks or wirelocks, the pins are pressed into the stock rods and the piston floats on the pin. There would be no means
to keep the pins centered on the stock pistons.
These rods WILL work with aftermarket pistons designed for a full-floating setup, including the 3SX-spec Ross pistons we carry.
These rods are in Chris' (3SX Service Manager) 1991 2-bolt VR4 that puts
down 811 HP and 747 TQ at the wheels and has over a dozen 10-second 1/4 mile
passes at over 140mph! Can't beat real-world test results! Details of his
car are listed HERE.
