Connecting Rod: Service and Repair

Cleaning

1. CAUTION: Do not use a caustic clearing solution or damage to connecting rods can occur.





2. NOTE: The connecting rod large end is mechanically split or cracked to produce a unique parting face. This produces a locking joint. Parts are not interchangeable.

Mark and separate the parts and clean with solvent. Clean the oil passages.
