Billet Aluminum Connecting Rod (3.308") For Predator 212cc Hemi & Non-Hemi Engine Mini Bike Go Kart
Desertcart purchases this item on your behalf and handles shipping, customs, and support to Hungary.
Description
- Fitment: Only for Predator 212 Hemi & Non-Hemi Engines Mini Bike Go Kart. Does NOT fit other engines. Package Includes:A Connecting Rod With Bolts Bearings.
- Rod bolt torque: 170 in-lbs using a 1/4" 12-point socket. Center-to-center length: 3.308"; for 1.188" crank journals and .709" wrist pins. The standard OEM length makes it suitable for modified engines paired with factory crankshafts and OEM dished or flat-top pistons.
- OEM-geometry design matches the dimensions of the factory die-cast Predator 212 connecting rod for correct piston height, crank journal alignment and wrist-pin position. Standard OEM length supports precise piston positioning, helps eliminate fit issues caused by factory piston-height variation, and is compatible with factory crankshafts, OEM dished/flat-top pistons and target compression ratios.
- CNC-machined from high-strength aluminum billets for controlled weight, high-speed stability and tensile resistance. As the core power bridge, it connects the piston and crankshaft and transmits combustion pressure and inertia force to the crankshaft. It is designed to support reliable power output, durability and service life, with lower risk of deformation/fracture than original parts under high-speed/high-load modified-engine conditions.
- The cap-mounted oil scoop/oil diverter directs oil to the crank pin and bearings during high-RPM operation, improving crank journal and bearing lubrication, reducing dry friction and heat, and helping prevent bearing wipe for smoother, cooler operation.

Good buy
Installed them and been running the hard no issues

What a joke. 70 bucks for junk
Bought this not expecting much and guess what that’s exactly what I got, inferior bolts is an understatement, per instructions bolt snapped right off at 57.2 ft lbs. I have a highly accurate snap on electric torque wrench do not buy this rod.I left 5 stars so this message gets to the front page.

Save your money
Does not even come close to fitting Stock crankshaft as advertisement states had about an 8th inch play after installed

Cost to much when compared to the ARC rod
It came in a paper bag with a small box inside with no protectionLooks almost like the ARC rod but the rod bearing are visible cheaperI just installed it in my engine with no problems let’s hope it last

Great rod for the price.
This is the second one I've bought. On my more serious builds I use ARC, but for my mild builds these are fine. Install is just like the ARC, BUT, keep in mind these use inferior rod bolts. That being said, I followed instructions with the rods wet with oil, and torqued fine up to 150 inch pounds. Use a GOOD and reliability accurate torque wrench and you won't be one of the guys complaining in the reviews about the rod bolts snapping. Yes, the oil hole in the included rod bearings won't perfectly line up with the oil ports on the rod, but there's more than enough room for oil to pass. If you don't like the inferior rod bolts and the slightly off oil holes on the bearings bother you, simply pass on this and get the ARC rod.

Schlecht Fabrizierte Lager hielten aber mehrere Stunden aus über 7500 Umdrehungen
Ich es sehr gut außer dass mir ein Bolzen gebrochen ist aber ich konnte ihn mit einem M6 Bolzen ersetzen und sie haltet auch sehr gut durch bisher über 7,500 rpm und ich empfehle die Pleuellager von ARC zu bestellen weil die was bei mir ankamen waren falsch Fabriziert deswegen, habe ich Pleuelklopfen bekommen.

Rod Bolts
The rod comes shipped with the bolts tight af. The threads of the rod on one side stripped out just loosening the bolt. I wont even waste time with putting this garbage in my engine. Just go for an ARC this rod is not worth the time and money.

Bad tolerances
Had to get piston side honed 30thou, bushings didn't clip in nice, probably 3 or 4thou slop on the crank. Bolts should be a e10 but just don't fit right so can't torque to spec. Spend the extra 40 bucks and grab an ARC.
