What is better I beam or H beam rods?
What is better I beam or H beam rods?
“H-beam is a stronger design when bending stress is considered,” Davis said. “H-beam rods are more difficult to machine, so they are often more expensive. I-beam rods are easier to produce and can sometimes be lighter than H-beams. All other variables being equal, H-beam rods are the strongest design.”
Where are Callies crankshafts made?
The Callies Magnum and Magnum XL lines start with US forgings. “They’re made 100 percent here in Ohio,” stated Piper.
What’s the difference between H-beam and I-beam?

What is Compstar?
Compstar crankshafts begin their life overseas where they are forged using Callies owned dies. The 4340 steel forgings are semi-finished, machined off-shore, then shipped to Callies to be finished.

Are H-beam rods good for boost?
If you’re trying to make a lot of boost, an I-beam connecting rod is the best choice. When you need to lighten up the rotating assembly the H-beam connecting rod should be at the top of your list. These rods are a better fit for a naturally-aspirated engine where you’re turning a high level of rpm.
Which is stronger H or I beam?
H-beam: An H-beam has a thicker center web, which means it is often stronger. I-beam: An I-beam often has a thinner center web, which means it is often not able to take as much force as an h-beam.
Why compstar high performance connecting rods?
Designed and produced with engineering and finishing advancements, CompStar high performance connecting rods have what it takes to make your engine build trouble free and your finished product reliable.
