REDHAMMER HAWAII Unveils High-Performance Gasoline Connecting Rods – Built for Power & Reliability

HONOLULU, HI – October 26, 2023 – REDHAMMER HAWAII LLC, a Honolulu-based performance parts specialist, today announced the launch of its new line of gasoline connecting rods. Designed and rigorously tested in Hawaii, these rods promise to deliver enhanced engine performance and durability for gasoline-powered applications. REDHAMMER HAWAII, located at 2153 N KING ST STE 321B, Honolulu, HI, 96819-4555, and reachable at 830-460-6516, has quietly been making a name for itself amongst engine builders and racing enthusiasts. Starting as a small operation focused on providing hard-to-find performance parts, the company has expanded to offer its own line of meticulously engineered components. “We saw a gap in the market for truly reliable, high-performance connecting rods that weren't priced out of reach for serious enthusiasts and smaller shops,” explains a REDHAMMER HAWAII spokesperson. “That’s where we stepped in.” What's the Big Deal with Connecting Rods Anyway? For those not deeply involved in engine mechanics, connecting rods are a vital part of the internal combustion engine. They connect the pistons to the crankshaft, transferring the force of combustion into rotational power. Think of them like the “arms and legs” of the engine – they have to be incredibly strong and withstand enormous stress, especially in high-performance applications. A weak or failing connecting rod can lead to catastrophic engine failure. REDHAMMER HAWAII’s Approach: Strength, Precision, and Hawaiian Grit REDHAMMER HAWAII's new connecting rods aren't just slapped together. They’re built with a serious focus on materials and manufacturing. Here’s a rundown of what sets them apart: Premium Alloy Steel: The rods are forged from high-strength 4340 alloy steel, known for its incredible tensile strength and fatigue resistance. This isn't your run-of-the-mill steel; it's specifically chosen to handle the intense pressures of high-revving, powerful gasoline engines. “We could have gone cheaper,” says the spokesperson, “but we weren’t willing to compromise on quality. These rods are built to last.” Precision Machining: After forging, each rod undergoes precision machining using state-of-the-art CNC equipment. This ensures tight tolerances and consistent dimensions across every single rod. “We don’t leave anything to chance,” explains a REDHAMMER HAWAII engineer. “Consistent quality is paramount. Every rod is inspected multiple times during the manufacturing process.” Shot Peening: To further enhance durability and fatigue life, the rods are shot peened. This process involves bombarding the surface with small steel shot, creating compressive stress that resists cracking and failure. Think of it like giving the rods a protective “skin”. Heat Treated: Proper heat treatment is crucial for maximizing the strength and toughness of the alloy steel. REDHAMMER HAWAII uses a carefully controlled heat treatment process to achieve the optimal balance of properties. Lightweight Design: While strength is essential, weight is also a critical factor. Lighter connecting rods reduce reciprocating mass, allowing the engine to rev more freely and produce more power. REDHAMMER HAWAII’s design incorporates optimized weight reduction without compromising strength. Multiple Sizes Available: Recognizing that different engines require different components, REDHAMMER HAWAII offers connecting rods in a variety of sizes and configurations to suit a wide range of gasoline engine applications. They currently support common engine strokes and bore sizes. Custom options are also being explored. Who are these rods for? REDHAMMER HAWAII isn’t targeting the average commuter car driver. These connecting rods are designed for: Performance Enthusiasts: Those who like to tinker with their engines and push the boundaries of performance. Racing Teams: From local track days to competitive racing, these rods are built to withstand the stresses of high-performance driving. Engine Builders: Shops and individuals who specialize in building and modifying engines. Restoration Projects: For classic cars where replacement parts are hard to find, REDHAMMER HAWAII offers a reliable, high-quality option. What's the Price? And Where Can You Get Them? REDHAMMER HAWAII is positioning its connecting rods as a premium product with a competitive price point. A set of four rods typically retails between $600 - $1200 depending on the engine size and specific configuration.
