Connecting Rod Bolt/Nut

CAUTION: The rod cap installation must keep the same orientation as marked during disassembly.

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.





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