Using these connecting rods is straightforward. First, make sure your engine is properly prepped and clean before installation. When tightening the fasteners, use a torque wrench to set it to the specified 45 ft lbs for the 3/8' size. This ensures a secure fit and prevents any potential issues. As for maintenance, regularly check the rods for any signs of wear or damage. After long - term use, you may want to have them inspected by a professional. Avoid over - revving the engine beyond the rated 500WHP, as this can put excessive stress on the rods and lead to premature failure. Keep the engine well - lubricated to extend the lifespan of the rods and other engine components.
