PDI has now brought that same technology to a connecting rod for the \u003cstrong\u003eCAT C15, C16, and 3406E\u003c\/strong\u003e, making it a strong choice for anyone assembling a \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-horsepower C15 or C16 in a non-ACERT block\u003c\/strong\u003e.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 14px 0;\"\u003e\n    Traditional connecting rods have gone largely unchanged for decades, depending on splash or a basic oil feed to keep the assembly lubricated. PDI's rod adds a \u003cstrong\u003eprecision-machined internal oil rifling hole\u003c\/strong\u003e that improves how oil is distributed inside the rod during operation. That controlled oil movement helps hold a more consistent lubrication film under load — the condition that matters most in high-stress and high-mileage applications.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 18px 0;\"\u003e\n    Connecting rods are among the most heavily loaded components in a diesel engine. Instead of only chasing rod strength, PDI looked at how oil behaves inside the rod and built the passage design around that. Every PDI connecting rod is engineered around real-world engine demands, and this rifled design reflects PDI's approach of going past standard replacement parts.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"border-left: 5px solid #f5a623; background-color: #fdf6e8; padding: 12px 16px; margin: 0 0 18px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eFitment Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e This rod is intended for non-ACERT CAT C15, C16, and 3406E blocks.
