compressor

Tightening the cap for the connecting rod!
Install the end cap. Check that markings correspond. On late types of connecting rods the mating surface between the cap and the connecting rod are not
machined. It is aligned through a dedicated fracture surface.
Earlier types have serrated surfaces that only align one way.
Caution!
If the cap is turned the wrong way and tightened, the structure of the fracture surface will be damaged and the connecting rod must then be discarded.
Blow the fracture surfaces of the connecting rod and end cap clean using compressed air before installing the cap.
