Overview
The PP Rod Nissan VK56 H-Beam HD connecting rods are designed for high-horsepower and forced-induction applications using the VK56DE 5.6L V8 engine. Constructed from premium 4340 forged steel in a robust H-beam configuration, these rods offer exceptional strength and durability under extreme operating conditions. Each rod is CNC machined, shot-peened, and magnaflux-inspected to ensure consistent quality and resistance to fatigue and cracking. They maintain the OEM center-to-center length of approximately 6.081 inches, making them a direct-fit solution for stock and stroker builds alike. The rods are weight-matched within ±1.5 grams to promote smooth engine balance and high-RPM stability. They come equipped with high-strength ARP fasteners for superior clamping force and bronze wrist-pin bushings for a full-floating setup that reduces wear and friction. Designed for both street and competition use, this set of eight rods is ideal for anyone building a reliable, high-performance VK56 engine.
