Connecting Rod Measurement Procedure
Connecting Rod Measurement ProcedureImportant: Measurements of all components should be taken with the components at normal room temperature.
1. Using an outside micrometer, take 2 measurements of the piston pin in the area of the connecting rod contact.
2. Using an inside micrometer, measure the connecting rod piston pin bore.
3. Subtract the piston pin diameter from the piston pin bore.
4. Compare the clearance measurements with the Engine Mechanical Specifications.
5. If the clearance is excessive, replace the piston pin. If a new pin does not resolve the clearance problem, replace the connecting rod.
