Product Description

The Eagle CRS5394H3D-1 is a premium H-Beam single connecting rod designed for Honda/Acura 1.6L D16/ZC engine families (SOHC and non-VTEC). Made from forged 4340 chromoly steel, this rod is designed to deliver strength and reliability in high RPM or boosted environments. It is shot-peened, magnaflux inspected, machined to precision tolerances, and uses ARP 2000 bolts for reliable clamping force. The full floating wrist pin (bushed) design helps reduce side loading, minimizing wear under demanding conditions.

Ideal for engine builders upgrading their stock rods, this single rod fits a wide range of 1.6L models from 1988 through 2000 that use D16/ZC engines (Civic, Del Sol, Integra, CRX). It is verified through those model years. **Fitment confirmed through 2000. 2025 unconfirmed.**
