Connecting Rod: Service and Repair
Connecting Rod Cleaning
CAUTION: Do not use a caustic cleaning solution or damage to connecting rods can occur.
1. NOTE: The connecting rod large end is a matched set. The connecting rod cap must be installed on the original connecting rod in the original
position. Do not reverse the cap. Parts are not interchangeable.
Mark and separate the parts and clean with solvent. Clean the oil passages.
Connecting Rod Large End Bore
NOTE: Refer to the appropriate information for the specification.
1. Tighten the bolts to specification, then measure the bore in 2 directions. The difference is the connecting rod bore out-of-round. Verify the
out-of-round is within specification.
Connecting Rod Bushing Diameter
NOTE: Refer to the appropriate information for the specification.
1. Use a telescoping gauge to determine the inner diameter of the connecting rod bushing, if equipped.
