Introducing the all new BC625+ and bROD Connecting Rods from BC Brian Crower
BC Brian Crower introduces a connecting rod design that delivers every need and want of the high performance and racing community in two distinct levels based on the consumer's horsepower requirement and affordability. The BC625+ connecting rod is the premier connecting rod and will soon become the industry standard in terms of design, quality and features. The radial H beam design, the ARP Custom Age 625+ fasteners, the grooved pin bushing... this rod incorporates every trick we could throw at it. The bROD is the exact same rod…only with ARP2000 fasteners for a more economical alternative. |

H-BEAM DESIGN
Universally accepted as the industry standard throughout the racing community, BC incorporates the proven H Beam rod design. This design delivers structural integrity, sound design and peace of mind when testing the outer limits of horsepower, torque and engine rpm. Adding to the design characteristics, BC engineers employed a radial beam design that removes excess weight from non-critical stress areas while making the beam design even stronger than the conventional straight beam design. |

 |
DOUBLE RIBBED CAP
The BC rod features a deep, double ribbed cap that keeps the big end housing bore of the connecting rod true at extended rpm and during severe-duty, high horsepower use. This feature also insures uniform rod bearing crush, delivering proper clearances for superior oil supply and maximum load carrying capacity. |

WRIST PIN OIL HOLES
Every BC connecting rod incorporates wrist pin oil holes at 5 and 7 o'clock. These pin oiling holes deliver critical lubrication to the wrist pin area for proper pin and pin bushing wear resistance and galling. The H-Beam design acts as a trough that runs oil along the sides of the beam, force feeding oil into the chamfered holes and around the grooved pin bushing. |

GROOVED PIN BUSHING
BC rods employ a unique aluminum/silicone/bronze bushing that features a .120" wide x .040" deep radial groove in the bushing that delivers even more oil to the critical wrist pin/rod bushing area. This groove is force fed oil through the two strategically machined oil holes positioned at 5 and 7 o'clock for superior lubrication. |

FASTENERS
BC rods are available in your choice of two fasteners or rod bolt options. Both are made from ARP, the industry standard for fastener technology. The bROD employs the ARP2000 bolts, the venerable fastener of choice for most connecting rod manufacturers and rated to 210,000 p.s.i. and up to 200 horsepower per cylinder. The BC 625+ rod incorporates ARP's highest grade fastener, the Custom Age 625+ bolt rated to 280,000 p.s.i. and in excess of 300 horsepower per cylinder. Use this option when only the best rod on the market will do. |
