Skunk2 Alpha Series Honda H22A Connecting Rods

If you're rebuilding the engine in your 1993-2001 Honda Prelude, especially if you're aiming for more power, these Skunk2 Alpha Series connecting rods are a solid choice for your H22A engine. They are built to handle significantly more stress than stock components, making them ideal for performance builds. These rods are forged from 4340 chromoly steel, a material known for its exceptional strength and durability, which is crucial when you're pushing an engine beyond its original limits.

Skunk2 puts a lot of effort into ensuring the quality of their 4340 chromoly. They perform extensive material testing and work closely with their foundry to get consistent, high-quality rods. Each rod goes through a comprehensive heat-treating, tempering, and shot-peening process. This treatment helps reduce fatigue and ensures each rod is strong and consistent. They are also magna-fluxed, which is a way to inspect for any internal flaws, making sure the rod is sound before it even leaves the factory. This attention to detail means you're getting a well-built part that's ready for serious work.

These rods feature an H-beam design, which offers a great strength-to-weight ratio, and they come balanced to within 1 gram. They include 3/8-inch ARP2000 bolts, which are well-regarded for their strength and reliability in high-performance applications. The set also comes with bronze wrist pin bushings and dual-pin oil passages to help keep things well-lubricated. Skunk2 rates these rods to handle over 900 horsepower, so they're built for substantial power increases. Remember to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details on assembly and torque specifications.
