When building an engine, often times the connecting rods might need to be replaced or machined. BRE sells replacement stock connecting rods that meet OEM specifications.
The connecting rods are machined back to life using Sunnen Rod reconditioning equipment. A Sunnen heavy duty cap cutter to start, and a Sunnen precision rod honing machine to resize the rod bore and piston pins.
