CONNECTING ROD
1) Replace the connecting rod, if the large or small end thrust surface is damaged.
2) Check for bend or twist using a connecting rod aligner. Replace the connecting rod if the bend or twist exceeds the limit.
Limit of bend or twist per 100 mm (3.94 in) in length:
0.10 mm (0.0039 in)
3) Install the connecting rod with bearings attached to the crankshaft, and measure the thrust clearance using a thickness gauge. If the thrust clearance
exceeds the standard or uneven wear is found, replace the connecting rod.
Connecting rod thrust clearance:
Standard
0.070 - 0.330 mm (0.0028 - 0.0130 in)
