Piston and Connecting Rod - Inspection

CONNECTING ROD





Inspect the connecting rod for damage and wear. The I-Beam section of the connecting rod cannot have dents or other damage. Damage to this part can cause stress risers which will progress to breakage.

Measure the connecting rod pin bore (1). The maximum diameter is 40.042 mm (1.5765 inch), minimum diameter is 40.019 mm (1.5756 inch). If out of limits, replace the connecting rod.
