Complete Set of 6 Connecting Rods
Designed for street and high-performance OM606 builds, BenzForce H-Beam connecting rods provide a proven forged-rod upgrade without the added cost of our competition-focused X-Beam rods.
Manufactured from high-tensile forged 4340 steel, these rods feature 7/16" rod bolts and are recommended for builds targeting up to 600 engine HP.
For higher-output and competition builds where maximum strength and genuine ARP hardware are the priority, consider our OM606 X-Beam Connecting Rod Set with ARP Bolts.

Proven Performance
These H-Beam connecting rods have been successfully used in an OM606 producing 650 WHP on the dyno.
Horsepower alone does not determine connecting rod load. Engine speed, cylinder pressure, tuning, component condition and intended use all affect connecting rod stress. For builds above our recommended 600 engine HP range, or applications where maximum strength is the priority, we recommend stepping up to our X-Beam Connecting Rod Set with genuine ARP bolts.
