Each connecting rod is manufactured from an oversized forging, enabling proper grain flow and removal of any surface inclusions or conversions that usually accompanies the forging process. Each lot of forgings is independently inspected and certified. To go along with this, Carrillo has engineered a proprietary material (Carrilloloy) that contains specific amounts of chrome, nickel, moly and vanadium offering an optimum balance of strength and ductility without compromise. By insuring proper grain flow with our proprietary material, the strength and durability of each Carrillo rod becomes more consistent and reliable from the first point of manufacturing all the way to the extreme uses in the racing world.
Every Carrillo rod is 100% machined allowing us to hold extreme tolerances over our entire process. This part of the process is very important when we go to our next step.
