Connecting Rod Bearing: Service and Repair
Connecting Rod Bolts

  Note:  The connecting rod bolts should be examined before reuse. If the threads are necked down, the bolts must be replaced.

1. Examine connecting rod bolts for stretching. Stretching can be checked by holding a scale or straight edge (2) against the threads. If all the threads

do not contact the scale (1) the bolt must be replaced.

2. Tighten the connecting rod bolts to specifications.
