Standard Connecting Rod Bearing is design to withstand normal usage and maximum power of a standard engine. When applying a power upgrade, such as increasing displacement or adding a turbo, workload to the Connecting Rod Bearing will also increase. Any failure from the stroker section will result in catastrophic engine damage. An aftermarket Connecting Rod Bearing is made from better and stronger material, such as aluminum, and have a better oil line design for better oil flow. A good aftermarket product could even withstand up to 1000 horse power.
