Connecting Rod Bolt/Nut

NOTE: The connecting rod caps are of the "cracked" design and must mate with the connecting rod ends. Excessive bearing clearance will result if not mated correctly.

Position the lower bearing and connecting rod, and install the new bolts loosely.

NOTE: Main bearing caps are removed for clarity.

Tighten the bolts in two stages, using the sequence shown.
^ Stage 1: Tighten to 40-45 Nm (30-33 ft. lbs.).
^ Stage 2: Tighten an additional 90-120 degrees.
