end inside diameter and big end
inside diameter
1. Tighten the connecting rod bolts 1 to the
specified torques in 3 stages.
2. Measure the connecting rod small end
inside diameter a and big end inside
diameter b.
TIP:
• When checking the big end inside diame-
ter, reuse the removed connecting rod bolt.
• Make sure that the protrusions c on the
connecting rod and connecting rod cap are
aligned.
• In the 3rd tightening stage for the connect-
ing rod bolts 1, mark the connecting rod
bolts and the connecting rod cap with iden-
