Connecting Rod: Description and Operation







DESCRIPTION

The pistons are made of a cast aluminum alloy. The pistons have pressed-in pins attached to forged connecting rods. The piston pin is offset 0.8 mm (0.0314 in.) towards the thrust side of the piston. The connecting rods are a cracked cap design and are not repairable. The piston with rings, connecting rod and piston pin are serviced as an assembly.
