connecting rod

  • Mechanical link between the piston and the crankshaft that enables the piston’s up-and-down travel to be converted into the crankshaft’s rotational motion
  • Some Ford engines use forged, powdered-metal, cracked connecting rods. These connecting rods are manufactured using a process pioneered by Ford
  • Connecting rods are typically forged from a flat or round metal billet. Powdered-metal rods, however, begin as loose metal powder blended to the required composition and forged in a form that is nearly at the final "net shape”
