DESCRIPTION

Achieve your performance goals with IE H-beam connecting rods that will make your build a success. IE Rods are designed for strength and reliability to support performance builds up to 600 horsepower and torque. Engineered to be fairly light weight for a high power to weight ratio making them the perfect choice for aggressive street builds.

All IE connecting rods are designed on and per engine application basis for factors such as cylinder pressure and rotating assembly mass. Many other brands simply change dimensions and do not engineer for the specific application at hand. FEA and computer simulation software is used to ensure the highest quality product.

The two most important dimensions of a connecting rod are the tolerances and roundness of the crankshaft journals and wristpin bushings. IE Rods are machined in-house on our top-of-the line USA made Sunnen rod hone machine that ensures proper critical roundness. After machine work is finished, every rod set undergoes a strict quality control process to verify all tolerances, weight balance, bolt threads, and surface finishes.

Rifle drilling is a machining process that adds a small hole directly through the center of the connecting rod. This galley force-feeds oil pressure from the crankshaft journal through the rod to the wrist pin bushing. Providing extra lubrication greatly extends engine life and reduces wear on the wrist pin and wrist pin bushing. Rifle drilling upgrade is highly recommended for street cars that will be driven for extended miles.

Use the piston fitment guide in the technical specs tab to verify factory piston compatibility

Made it through the first season
Style: 9" 2T Cutting Blade
Product value compared to name brands not to bad so for. Not sure I'd use it for contract work, but great for homeowner use. Engine seems to have an odd burning smell, but performs good (yes I have the correct oil/gas mix ratio which is 50:1). This is very similar to the Stihl models, aluminum shaft tubing on the attachments appear to be slightly thinner than Stihl, but they perform fine. So far it's been a great value for all the attachments you get in the kit. Definitely like the angle capability of the hedge trimmer and ease of changing out the attachments. Chain saw blade did dull fairly quick, but expected that based on it's size. Jury still out on longevity.

Edger Does Not Fit The 52CC Trimmer
Style: 9" 2T Cutting Blade
Might be a great cutter head?? I purchased the 52cc trimmer and edger as a package, however the edger does not fit the trimmer??? Therefore, it is useless... Will see if it fits my 25cc trimmer and maybe change the review... They should tell people in the description that their edger will not work with the 52cc trimmer....

Cut edges like a pro
Style: 9" 2T Cutting Blade
Better, much better than the OEM yellow and black brand. This has an all metal guard and the blade does not bind when it comes into contact with concrete. I have used it all summer for edging two commercial properties and my own lawn, it’s still turning and cutting with ease. Being all metal adds weight but the trade off over fragile plastic is worth the durability.

OK for light duty use only
Style: 9" 2T Cutting Blade
Not very strong or robust. Does fit my power head properly. Only recommend it for occasional, light duty use.
