Similar to the chrome moly 4340 Billet, our titanium rods are crafted from
6AL4V Titanium Bar Stock. The titanium rods differ from our 4340 billet in
that they weigh considerably less for reduced rotating and reciprocating weight. On
average, the titanium rods weigh 33% less than the 4340 counterpart. In a
6-cylinder engine, that is equal to removing the weight of 2 steel rods from
the complete rotating assembly. Typically, the big end of a 4340 rod weighs more
than an entire titanium rod.
The Pauter 6AL4V Titanium Connecting Rod is available for most applications
on a custom order basis. Due to the steps involved in manufacturing as well
as customer demand, these rods are processed start to finish in 10-12 weeks.
