D. Inspect connecting rod bolts
(a) Install the cap nut to the connecting rod bolt. Check that the
cap nut can be turned easily by hand to the end of the thread.
(b) If the cap nut cannot be turned easily, measure the outer
diameter of the compressed thread with a vernier caliper.
Standard outer diameter:
7.860–8.000 mm (0.3094–0.3150 in.)
Minimum outer diameter:
7.60 mm (0.2992 in.)
HINT: If the location of this area cannot be judged by visual
inspection, measure the outer diameter at the location shown
in the illustration.
If the outer diameter is less than minimum, replace the con-
necting rod and cap nut as a set.
