Good To Know

Q: Does this kit include the rod bearing? A: Yes, this connecting rod kit is supplied with the rod bearing and related pin hardware so the rod position can be assembled in one pass.

Q: Can I install this without splitting the cases? A: No, connecting rod service on a Pantera 1000 requires splitting the crankcase, so plan for a full bottom-end teardown.
