Carrillo BMW Cooper & Cooper-S w/Tritec 1.6 Pro-H 5/16 CARR Bolt Connecting Rods

Carrillo is well-known for making strong, reliable internal engine components, and these Pro-H connecting rods are a prime example. If you're working on the engine for your 2002-2013 Mini Cooper or Cooper S with the Tritec 1.6 engine, these rods are built to handle more power than stock. They are designed to be a direct replacement for your factory connecting rods, but with a significant upgrade in strength and durability.

These rods feature Carrillo's Pro-H beam design, which is a popular choice for builds that see increased stress. They come equipped with 5/16 inch CARR bolts, a proprietary fastener from Carrillo known for its high tensile strength and reliability under extreme loads. The material used is a high-strength steel alloy, carefully heat-treated to ensure it can withstand the demanding conditions inside a performance engine. This means you can feel confident pushing your Mini's engine harder, whether for track use or spirited street driving, knowing these rods are up to the task.

When installing these connecting rods, it's important to ensure your engine is properly balanced and that all related components are in good condition. Because these are a performance upgrade, we recommend consulting with a professional engine builder or referring to the manufacturer's detailed installation instructions to ensure everything is torqued to spec and properly aligned. This is a critical component for any engine build aiming for increased horsepower and reliability.
