FAQ
Is .26 mm the same as .010" undersize?
Yes—.26 mm is the metric equivalent of ~.010" under; verify your crank journals are ground to match.
Will this fit factory rods?

Why choose H-Series over P- or C-Series?
H-Series features a hardened steel back, thin overlay, and enlarged chamfers for high-load use and large crank fillets.
How many do I need?
Six pairs (one per rod journal) for a complete 6-cylinder engine.
