PROJECT TERRY LLC Revolutionizes Engine Performance with Innovative H-Beam Connecting Rods
Seattle, WA – October 26, 2023 – PROJECT TERRY LLC, a rising force in performance automotive components based in Seattle, Washington, is making waves in the engine building world with its newly refined line of H-beam connecting rods. The company, located at 2107 Elliott Ave Ste 303, is dedicated to delivering high-quality, precision-engineered parts for enthusiasts and professionals alike. You can reach them at 603-728-3489. For years, engine builders have been chasing that extra bit of horsepower, that smoother revving engine, that reliability that can withstand serious abuse. A lot of that comes down to the little things, and arguably, one of the most critical little things is the connecting rod. That’s where PROJECT TERRY steps in. What's the Big Deal with H-Beam Connecting Rods? Okay, let's break it down simply. Connecting rods take the up-and-down motion of the pistons and turn it into rotational power for your crankshaft. They're under huge stress, especially in high-performance engines. Traditional connecting rods can flex and distort under these loads, leading to power loss, and eventually, catastrophic engine failure. H-beam connecting rods, named for their shape (think of the letter 'H'), are significantly stronger and stiffer than standard rods. That 'H' shape adds material in critical areas, dramatically increasing resistance to bending and twisting. This means: More Power: Less flex means more of the engine's energy is actually used to turn the crankshaft, translating directly into horsepower. Higher Revving Engine: Stiffer rods allow you to safely push your engine to higher RPMs, unlocking even more potential. Improved Reliability: Stronger rods mean a much lower risk of bending or breaking, even under extreme conditions – think forced induction, nitrous, or just hard driving. PROJECT TERRY: Taking H-Beam to the Next Level PROJECT TERRY isn’t just slapping together H-beam rods; they’re engineering them. The company has focused on several key areas to create a truly superior product: Material Selection: They utilize only top-tier 4340 forged steel, known for its incredible strength and toughness. This isn't some generic steel; it's specifically chosen to handle the extreme demands of high-performance engines. They’re also looking into options for even more exotic materials for specialized applications. Precision Machining: Forget sloppy tolerances. PROJECT TERRY utilizes state-of-the-art CNC machining to ensure every rod is manufactured to exacting specifications. This includes precise big-end and small-end bores, ensuring a perfect fit with your crankshaft and pistons. They’ve invested heavily in quality control, including dimensional inspections and non-destructive testing. Lightweight Design: Strength isn’t enough; you also need to keep weight down. Excessive weight slows down the engine and reduces responsiveness. PROJECT TERRY’s rods are meticulously designed to remove unnecessary material while maintaining optimal strength. This is achieved through advanced CAD modeling and FEA (Finite Element Analysis) to identify stress points and optimize the design. Multiple Sizes & Finishes: PROJECT TERRY understands that not all engines are created equal. They offer their H-beam connecting rods in a wide range of sizes to fit various engine displacements and stroke lengths. They also offer a choice of finishes, including black oxide and polished, to suit your aesthetic preferences. Shot Peening: This crucial process significantly increases the fatigue life of the rods. Shot peening involves bombarding the surface with tiny steel shots, creating compressive stress that helps prevent cracking and failure. This is a detail many competitors skip, and it makes a huge difference in long-term durability. Who are these rods for? PROJECT TERRY's H-beam connecting rods aren't just for race cars (though they definitely hold up on the track!). They’re a great upgrade for: Performance Enthusiasts: If you’re building a modified street engine, these rods will give you a noticeable boost in power and reliability. Turbocharged or Supercharged Engines: Forced induction puts a tremendous amount of stress on the connecting rods. These rods are designed to handle that stress with ease. High-Revving Engines: If you’re building an engine that will spend most of its time at high RPMs, these rods are essential. Engine Builders: If you’re a professional engine builder, these rods will help you build engines that are both powerful and reliable. What's next for PROJECT TERRY LLC? PROJECT TERRY isn’t resting on its laurels. The company is already working on expanding its product line to include other high-performance engine components, such as crankshafts, pistons, and camshafts. They’re also investing in research and development to explore new materials and manufacturing processes. “We’re passionate about building high-quality, reliable engine components that help our customers achieve their performance goals,” says a company spokesperson. “We believe that our H-beam connecting rods are a testament to that commitment, and we’re excited to see what our customers can achieve with them.” Getting Your Hands on PROJECT TERRY’s H-Beam Connecting Rods You can find PROJECT TERRY's H-beam connecting rods directly through their website (website address would go here if available) and through select performance parts retailers.
