What did you build today?
While touring the show floor at the 2017 Performance Racing Industry
(PRI) trade show, the author encountered this unique display at the K1
Technologies booth. K1 USA made "RACEREADY" connecting rods and
crankshafts are a cut above the average and are held to some of the tightest
accepted tolerances in the racing industry. Both the rods and cranks are made
from premium 4340 steel and the original design of the K1 Technologies line of
connecting rods saves weight without sacrificing strength.
Before any finish work is done, K1 rods are 100% magnetic
particle inspected and after they are honed in-house they are weight-matched
into sets and boxed, with the rotating, reciprocating and total weights noted
for convenient use in the balancing process. K1 crankshafts are core hardened
for increased tensile strength and fatigue life and are 100% mag particle
inspected with bearing surfaces are polished and gas nitrided surface hardened
for wear resistance.
