Carrillo Connecting Rods

Fatigue is the major cause of connecting rod failure. At Carrillo Industries, they use proprietary steel, manufactured and forged to their own custom specifications to make the Carrillo “H” & “A” Beam Rods .These connecting rods are fully machined to guarantee the removal of all surface imperfections in the forging.

After heat treatment, each connecting rod is 100% magnaflux inspected and hardness checked, then machined to final size. Each set of rods is balanced and then shot peened to achieve the ultimate in strength and fatigue properties

CP-Carrillo engineers continually refine our connecting rod designs to obtain that elusive goal –perfection in performance.

When you buy a CP-Carrillo  connecting rods we strive to put you in the winner’s circle; you get our commitment to quality and performance, before, during and after the sale!

Carrillo Connecting rods were founded by Fred Carrillo in 1963. Fred approached the challenges of manufacturing with the idea of no compromise. He knew the never ending quest for speed would require the same desire in component manufacturing. This Carrillo philosophy is as evident today as it was at Carrillo’s conception in 1963.

Quality and pride go hand-in-hand at CP-Carrillo. Manufacturing a CP-Carrillo rod is much more than cutting a forging, meeting production goals and shipping deadlines. The design of connecting rods has evolved into a collaboration of skilled specialists. Every connecting rod is a symphony of precision: material specialist, forging precision, production craftsman, design engineers and engine specialists each contribute know-how and artistry.
