Carrillo Honda/Acura B18C V-TEC Pro-A 5/16 WMC Bolt Connecting Rods (Special Order No Cancel)

Forged from high-strength steel with 5/16" WMC bolts, these Carrillo Pro-A connecting rods are built specifically for the B18C V-TEC engine found in the 1994-2001 Acura Integra. When you're pushing your engine beyond stock performance, the connecting rods become a critical component. They handle the immense forces generated by combustion and piston movement, transferring that power to the crankshaft. These rods are a well-built upgrade designed to handle increased cylinder pressures and RPMs that come with performance modifications.

Carrillo is known for its robust connecting rod designs, and the Pro-A series is a popular choice for serious engine builds. The WMC (Weld Forged, Machined, Cold-rolled) bolts are a key feature, offering superior clamping force and fatigue resistance compared to standard fasteners. This means they can maintain their integrity under the high stress of performance driving. The rods themselves are precision-machined to ensure proper fitment and balance within the engine, which is crucial for smooth operation and longevity, especially when rebuilding or modifying the top end of your B18C.

Because these are a special order item and no cancellations are allowed, it's important to be sure this is the right component for your build. They are designed as a direct replacement for the factory connecting rods, but their enhanced strength makes them ideal for engines that have seen significant performance upgrades. Ensure you have all necessary supporting components and gaskets for your engine rebuild before beginning installation.
