Connecting Rod Bushing (Small End) - Clearance

CONNECTING ROD BUSHING CLEARANCE (SMALL END)





1. Measure inner diameter "C" of bushing.
2. Measure outer diameter "Dp" of piston pin.
3. Calculate connecting rod bushing clearance.

Connecting rod bushing clearance = C - Dp
Standard: 0.005 - 0.017 mm (0.0002 - 0.0007 inch)
Limit: 0.023 mm (0.0009 inch)

If it exceeds the limit, replace connecting rod assembly or connecting rod bushing and/or piston set with pin.
