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 ...

The bearing load in today's engines has increased significantly due to the improvement of the combustion method and the increasingly demanded output power. Numerous studies including thermo-elastic ...

Utah's Transcend Energy Group claims it has a relatively simple and cheap way to dramatically increase the torque output of combustion engines, simply by replacing the standard connecting rods with ...

Connecting rod failures are known to cause some of the most catastrophic engine damage imaginable. And in the modern diesel engine's case, its connecting rods are subjected to very high levels of ...

Even though it’s getting better in terms of reliability, the Hyundai Motor Group is no stranger to engine problems. This time around, approximately 129,000 vehicles are under recall over bad ...

It is generally acknowledged that connecting rod geometry, particularly center-to-center length, can have a material influence on a variety of engine conditions. These include specific relationships ...
