Machining and Reconditioning of Connecting Rods

TRAC's Con Rod Department is responsible for the machining and reconditioning of connecting rods of all sizes from diesel and natural gas engines.

The rods go through a rigorous examination process to determine the rod’s re-usability. The rods that pass this scrutiny receive new bushings that are then cut to size providing a smooth surface that is ready to return to its application.

Don’t risk further damage. Contact the team at TRAC with any engine-related questions you may have.
