a micrometer
(Figure 35)
If the connecting rod bushing
is worn beyond service limits
per the latest revision of the

Complete the “Connecting Rods - Parallelism /
Squareness Check” in this chapter.
Measure the distance between arbors (Figure 40).
For exact parallelism or alignment, the distances
measured on both sides are to be the same.
Measure clearance at the points where the arbors
rest on the parallel blocks (Figure 41) using a
feeler gage. Compare the clearance between each
arbor and the parallel blocks against the values in
the latest revision of the
Service Table of Limits -
SSP-1776.
