PROMUS HOTELS LLC Boosts Engine Performance with New Big Block Connecting Rods
MCLEAN, VA – October 26, 2023 – PROMUS HOTELS LLC, a company traditionally known for its hospitality expertise, is making waves in the automotive performance market with the launch of its high-performance big block connecting rods. While seemingly a jump from hotel management, PROMUS HOTELS LLC leverages its established precision engineering and materials sourcing capabilities – honed through years of managing complex logistical operations – to deliver a superior product for engine builders and enthusiasts. “People might be surprised to see a hotel company making connecting rods,” admits John Davis, Head of Diversification at PROMUS HOTELS LLC. “But look closer. We're experts in managing intricate supply chains, quality control, and meeting demanding specifications. Building these rods is actually a natural extension of those skills. We saw a gap in the market for high-quality, reliably sourced connecting rods at a competitive price, and we decided to fill it.” What are Connecting Rods, and Why Do They Matter? For those unfamiliar, connecting rods are a crucial part of any internal combustion engine. They connect the pistons to the crankshaft, transferring the power generated by combustion to turn the engine. In big block engines – typically found in high-performance vehicles like muscle cars, trucks, and racing applications – these rods endure immense stress. Weak or poorly made connecting rods can lead to catastrophic engine failure. “Think of it like this,” explains Sarah Miller, PROMUS HOTELS LLC’s Engineering Lead. “The pistons are constantly slamming up and down. The connecting rods have to absorb all that impact, and then convert it into rotational force. They’re under incredible tension and compression. If a rod fails, it’s not just a repair; it’s a major engine rebuild.” PROMUS HOTELS LLC’s Approach: Strength, Reliability, and Value PROMUS HOTELS LLC isn’t just entering the market with another connecting rod; they're focused on delivering a product that stands out. They've achieved this through a combination of careful material selection, precise manufacturing processes, and rigorous quality control. “We started by asking engine builders what they really wanted,” says Davis. “They wanted rods that were strong, lightweight, consistent, and offered excellent value for money. We listened.” Here’s what sets PROMUS HOTELS LLC’s big block connecting rods apart: 4340 Forged Steel: The rods are forged from high-quality 4340 alloy steel – known for its exceptional strength and durability. This material is specifically chosen to withstand the extreme stresses of high-performance engines. Heat Treated & Shot Peened: Following forging, the rods undergo a meticulous heat treatment process to maximize their strength and toughness. They are then shot peened to further enhance fatigue resistance and prevent cracking. “This process isn’t just about making the rods stronger,” Miller explains. “It's about making them last longer under extreme conditions.” Precise Machining: PROMUS HOTELS LLC utilizes state-of-the-art CNC machining centers to ensure dimensional accuracy and consistency. Each rod is precisely machined to tight tolerances, guaranteeing a perfect fit and smooth operation. Lightweight Design: While strength is paramount, PROMUS HOTELS LLC also understands the importance of weight. Their rods are designed to be lightweight without compromising strength, helping to improve engine responsiveness and performance. “Reducing rotating mass is crucial for high-performance engines,” Miller states. “Lighter rods allow the engine to rev more freely and produce more power.” Polished Finish: The rods feature a polished finish, not only for aesthetics but also to reduce friction and improve oil flow. Multiple Sizes Available: PROMUS HOTELS LLC offers a range of rod lengths and big end sizes to accommodate various engine configurations and stroke lengths. Competitive Pricing: Despite the high-quality materials and manufacturing processes, PROMUS HOTELS LLC is able to offer its connecting rods at a competitive price point. “We’re cutting out the middlemen and passing the savings on to our customers,” Davis says. Beyond the Rod: A Commitment to Quality & Customer Service PROMUS HOTELS LLC isn’t just selling connecting rods; they’re building relationships with engine builders and enthusiasts. They offer comprehensive customer support, including technical assistance and a responsive warranty program. “We understand that engine building is a demanding process,” says Davis. “We’re here to support our customers every step of the way.” The company’s dedication to quality extends beyond the manufacturing process. All rods are individually inspected before shipping to ensure they meet the highest standards. PROMUS HOTELS LLC also provides detailed specifications and installation guidelines to help customers achieve optimal results. What's Next? The launch of the big block connecting rods is just the beginning for PROMUS HOTELS LLC's foray into the automotive performance market. The company is already planning to expand its product line to include other engine components, such as crankshafts, pistons, and camshafts. “We’re committed to providing engine builders with the high-quality components they need to build powerful and reliable engines,” says Davis. “Stay tuned for more exciting developments.” Availability and Pricing PROMUS HOTELS LLC’s big block connecting rods are available now through the company’s website [Insert Website Here] and select authorized dealers.
