- All crankshafts are sold complete and ready for installation with the original proven Hot Rods connecting rods, and crankshaft webs.
- Factory assembled and trued to O.E.M. specifications, Hot Rods cranks will meet or surpass the O.E.M. in performance and durability.
- Crankshafts are fully re-buildable with genuine Hot Rods connecting rods and bearings.
- Multi-cylinder applications are sold complete with main bearings (unless specified otherwise).
- Two and four-stroke applications available.
Vertex 2-Stroke Piston:
As the O.E. supplier of two-stroke pistons to KTM, Vertex Pistons has an outstanding reputation for quality and performance. The silicon content in Vertex pistons is crucial to the quality of the piston. Silicon is significant for decreasing thermal expansion which, when an engine reaches normal operating temperatures, can change the geometry of the piston. Controlling this expansion means that a Vertex piston can be run at tighter tolerances for more power, less noise and a longer lifespan of the piston. Plus, the silicon content decreases wear on the piston skirt which also aids in the life of the piston.
- Each gravity cast piston is created with only premium aluminum alloys utilizing an 12 - 21% silicon content.
- In addition to the silicon, each Vertex piston utilizes a unique Molybdenum Disulphide (MOS2) coating which aids in the break-in process and reduces overall wear.
- With the purchase of a premium quality piston, every Vertex piston kit contains a complete set of nitride-coated or chrome-plated piston rings, a fully case hardened wrist pin and circlips all at a competitive price.
- Note: This piston is for a stock sized bore. Please measure your cylinder to check clearance before ordering.
Hot Rods Bearings and Seals:
- To compliment Hot Rods full line of heavy-duty O.E.M. replacement and stroker crankshafts are Hot Rods complete main bearings for both two and four-stroke applications. Like other Hot Rods products, these main bearing and seal kits are built to the highest quality standards that meet or exceed those of O.E.M.
- Additionally, not only will Hot Rods main bearing and seal kits work in rebuilding a Hot Rods crankshaft but, they also work in rebuilding O.E.M. cranks as well.
Hot Rods Needle Bearing:
- Case-hardened and silver coated, the bearings are just as tough and reliable as all Hot Rods parts.
- Wrist pin bearing is specially designed with a long shouldered bearing cage to withstand high RPM use.
- Can be used with Hot Rods connecting rods and O.E. or aftermarket pistons.
Athena Gaskets:
- The Athena complete gasket kit is an all-in-one kit featuring superior quality gaskets to rebuild your motorcycle or ATV engine.
- Athena ensures they are only using the highest quality gaskets to provide a great seal every time.
- All Athena gaskets are designed and built to meet or exceed O.E.M. specifications.
