This is our unique single rib design E- 4340 chrome-moly forged rod. This rod is available for import, domestic, and now motorcycle engines. Overall, the clean, windage-reducing design and strength of these Pauter rods has proven to be extremely popular with racers, and their consistent high quality and excellent finish has resulted in many satisfied customers. We now offer these rods in three weight categories to accommodate varying horsepower demands.
Custom versus off-the-shelf thinking
Our usual policy as to in-stock and custom built rods is a bit different from other manufacturers. We gear our production towards the custom, made-to-order end of the spectrum, stocking only a few "popular" sizes. From both the manufacturer's as well as the customer's point of view, this policy has its advantages. Even in identical situations, two different builders will often have differing ideas as to optimum rod specifications. Multiply this example by the myriad forms, classes, even sub-classes of racing out there, and custom parts in reality become the norm instead of the exception. We acknowledge this, and our rod program is geared to provide a high level of custom service as standard practice. We are CNC and CAD proficient, all tooling and production has been streamlined to handle one-offs as easily as multiple quantity orders. The upside is that any set of dimensional specs are OK, and turnaround on our chrome-moly rods is usually 4 to 5 weeks from the original processing of your order. Costs to you are the same, unless upgrades such as special bolts or non-production processing are requested. On-shelf items are as stated above, limited to a minimum number of popular repeat sizes.
For our 4340 billet rods, we have three different weight categories for any one particular set of length/big bore/pin bore specs. These are: standard, lightweight, and restrictor styles. Lighter is not always better. Our tech department can assist you in the selection of the correct weight for your horsepower/rpm requirements. Visually, these rods are all quite similar in profile, and generally only by close side by side comparison (and a gram scale) can the small differences be discerned.
