How Racing Engine Parts Are Made! CP Carrillo Factory Tour & Behind The Scenes (Rods & Pistons)

What happens here

After machining, connecting rods undergo 'shot peening', a process where small steel balls are propelled at high speed onto the surface of the rod. This works to harden the material, remove any residual machining marks, and reduce areas of high stress, enhancing the rod's fatigue strength and durability. If performed incorrectly (too much or too little), shot peening can be detrimental. Following shot peening, parts are often deburred using vibratory deburring machines to smooth edges, a more efficient method than previous manual processes. These refined parts are then moved to a final assembly line where they are carefully oiled, demagnetized, and prepared for the customer.

Goal: Enhance the durability and prepare connecting rods for final use.

Tools and materials

  • Final Assembly Bench N/A — Organizing and preparing finished parts for shipping
  • Shot Peening Machine Wheelabrator — Work hardening the surface of connecting rods to remove stress and improve fatigue life
  • Vibratory Deburring Machines Giant — Smoothing edges and removing small burrs from machined connecting rods
  • Machined Connecting Rods N/A — Connecting rods ready for surface treatment and final preparation
  • Oil — Lubricating parts during final assembly

offer metal footer honor the tanker offers way easier than to put her on her yeah but he knows how to do the putter honor part too though okay that's good yeah you know we've got a lot of equipment that's older refurbished constantly made team still works and does well for everything that well this is where we actually do the shocking of the steel what is shock painting Shop painting is when you take small steel balls and you use them hard in the surface remove Machining marks and other things and remove areas of high stress so if it's done correctly it can also be done incorrectly it can be done too much so there's a variety of different things that can be or are done with shop cleaning features a color that goes like this but we normally know a rod looks like I've seen it looks like this but like I said but that Machining process can put residual stresses and things in there so then you start being it and it takes those stresses out gives it that gorilla look that everybody's own please know and no you know so as he starts to get that thing going and we can feel the shot flying around in the air we should probably start yeah usually our vibratory deburring is right here because back back in back in the old days you know the guys would do it all by hand and then vibratory burning came online and then that allowed us to actually take employees sisters and drivers and but unfortunately that piece of equipment's down at the moment so generally that's where we do all of our diverting with a vibratory debris final assembly Raphael's been doing this for a long time and uh you know basically preparing the parts so that that way we can get them ready for the customer foil them down demagnetizing them and getting them ready to go if you like this kind of
