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 ...

In this video, we explore two engines with the same bore and stroke but varying lengths of connecting rods. At the same engine speed, the differing rod lengths influence piston acceleration, affecting ...

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 ...
