Why choose K1 Connecting Rods for your Porsche Engine Rebuild?

K1 Technologies strives to bring their customers a high-quality connecting rod at an affordable price. K1 Technologies produces "RACEREADY" rods and cranks at very affordable prices. Their connecting rods and crankshafts are a cut above the average imported rod. Although they are forged overseas, K1 components are machined and finished in the United States to some of the tightest accepted tolerances in the racing industry with great attention to detail. K1's unique design, which is original to the K1 Technologies line of connecting rods, saves weight without sacrificing strength. K1 connecting rods feature ARP bolts exclusively.


K1 Quality and Materials

Premium 4340 chromoly steel is used to manufacture all K1 forged connecting rods and crankshafts. ARP 2000 rod bolts are included standard with all K1 connecting rods with 625+ Custom Age rod bolts available as an optional upgrade. Bearing bore tolerances are held to +/-.0001". Bronze bushings allow for a full-floating pin. All connecting rods are 100% designed, finished, and inspected in the USA in their Mentor, OH facility.


K1 Process

Before any finish work is done, K1 connecting rods are 100% mag particle inspected. ARP bolts are installed and tightened to our exacting specifications prior to honing to insure accurate and repeatable bore geometry. All K1 Technologies connecting rods are honed in-house and sizes are held to some of the tightest accepted tolerances in the industry. Rods are weight-matched into sets and boxed, with the rotating, reciprocating and total weights noted for convenient use in the balancing process.
