Compstar BB Chevy 4.500 Stroke Crank and H Beam Connecting Rods

Drawing from the deep history of experience at Callies, our Compstar engineers have been able to combine the best characteristics of performance crankshaft design into the Compstar “Compweight” for Big Block Chevy applications Produced from 4340 material that is triple heat treated and stress relieved during machining. Compstar BBC Compweights will remain true during severe duty use.
All Compstar Compweights are center counterweighted for reduced bearing loads during high RPM use. Machined with .125 journal radii and conventional straight shot oiling, these cranks offer simple durability. With all 4 rod journals drilled, Compstar BBC Compweight cranks weigh in at 75lbs or less. Compweights are fully deep case nitrided.

Compstar H Beam connecting rods were designed with higher horsepower stroker motors in mind from the start, not as an afterthought. Bolt upgrades and stroker clearance are normally additional cost options with other rods, but are standard equipment with Compstar rods. ARP L19 7/16 bolts are used exclusively for superior tensile strength and clamping force at the critical mating joint of the rod and cap. The placement of these bolts is also key to additional rotational clearance in stroker applications at the bottom of the bores and at the pan rails. Strengthening gussets are also added to the bolt spot-face area of the cap where cross sectional thickness is at a minimum. These gussets not only increase strength, but aid in dimensional stability as well.
