Connecting Rods

Connecting Rods

The connecting rods (6) are forged and are split (cracked) at the big end following machining. Both parts are aligned with one another via the fractured surface. Although a matching number is not needed for cracked connecting rods because of the fact that each fractured surface has a different shape, matching numbers are used here to ensure process reliability. During fitting, it is important to ensure that this matching number is facing upwards. The connecting rods are 140 mm long.

The piston-pin circlips are secured with twist locks and have an additional hook for removal.
