Connecting Rod: Testing and Inspection
Bolt Inspection
1. Install the cap nut to the connecting rod bolt. Check that the cap nut can be turned easily by hand to the end of the thread.
2. If the cap nut cannot be turned easily, measure the outside diameter of the connecting rod bolt with a vernier caliper.
Standard diameter: 7.860 - 8.000 mm (0.3094 - 0.3150 inch)
Minimum diameter: 7.60 mm (0.2992 inch)
NOTE: If the location of this area cannot be judged by visual inspection, measure the outer diameter at the location shown in the illustration. If
the outside diameter is less than minimum, replace the connecting rod bolt and nut as a set.
