Kawasaki Connecting Rods: Redmond Swimming LLC Steps Up Engine Performance

Redmond Swimming LLC, based in Kirkland, Washington, might not be the first name that springs to mind when you think “engine parts.” We’re known for our high-quality pool and spa equipment, serving the Pacific Northwest and beyond for years. But behind the scenes, we’ve been quietly building expertise in precision machining and materials science – skills that translate surprisingly well to the world of high-performance engines. That's why we're excited to introduce our line of Kawasaki connecting rods, built to deliver unparalleled durability and power. From Pool Tech to Precision Parts: How Did This Happen? You might be asking: “Swimming pools and engine parts? What’s the connection?” It’s a good question. For years, Redmond Swimming LLC has been committed to sourcing and manufacturing corrosion-resistant components for pool equipment – pumps, filters, heaters – that withstand constant exposure to harsh chemicals and demanding conditions. This requires working with high-grade alloys, mastering tight tolerances, and implementing rigorous quality control. We learned to work with metals. We learned about stress testing. And we built a team of incredibly skilled machinists. Essentially, we realized the same principles applied. A connecting rod needs to be incredibly strong, incredibly precise, and able to withstand extreme stress. It's not that different from building a pump impeller that can handle thousands of gallons of water per hour! What Makes Our Kawasaki Connecting Rods Different? Kawasaki engines are known for their reliability and power, but even the best engines can benefit from upgraded components. Especially if you're pushing the limits – racing, modifying, or just demanding more from your machine. Our Kawasaki connecting rods aren’t about simply replacing stock parts; they’re about enhancing performance and peace of mind. Here’s a breakdown of what sets ours apart: Premium Materials: We use only the highest-grade 4340 forged steel. This isn't some generic steel; it’s specifically chosen for its exceptional strength, toughness, and resistance to fatigue. It means our rods can handle higher cylinder pressures and increased RPM without bending or failing. We also offer rods made with titanium alloys for the ultimate weight savings and performance boost - perfect for serious racers. Forged, Not Cast: This is huge. Forged rods are significantly stronger and more durable than cast rods. The forging process aligns the grain structure of the steel, making it much more resistant to cracking and failure under stress. Cast rods can have voids and imperfections that weaken them over time. Precision Machining: We utilize state-of-the-art CNC machining centers to ensure every rod meets our exacting standards. This means precise dimensions, perfectly balanced weights, and smooth, polished surfaces. We hold tolerances to within thousandths of an inch. Shot Peening: After machining, each rod undergoes a shot peening process. This involves bombarding the surface with tiny steel balls, creating compressive residual stresses that dramatically increase fatigue life and resistance to cracking. It’s like adding an extra layer of armor. Heat Treatment: Proper heat treatment is critical for maximizing the strength and durability of any steel component. We follow a carefully controlled heat treatment process that optimizes the material properties of the steel, ensuring it can withstand the extreme temperatures and stresses of engine operation. Balanced and Weighted: We understand that balance is crucial for smooth engine operation and reduced vibration. Each rod is carefully balanced and weighted to minimize imbalance and ensure optimal performance. We can even custom balance rods to your specific engine build. Direct Replacement: Our Kawasaki connecting rods are designed as direct replacements for the stock rods in a wide range of Kawasaki engines. This means easy installation and no modifications required. (Please check compatibility with your specific engine model before ordering.) Which Kawasaki Engines Do These Rods Fit?
