Connecting Rod

1. Check connecting rods for alignment by placing rods on a surface plate. If light can

be seen under any portion of machined surfaces, if rod has a slight wobble on plate,

or if a 0.002 in. (0.051 mm) feeler gauge can be inserted between any machined sur-

face and surface plate, rod is bent and must be discarded

Feeler Gauge

b -

Surface Plate

c -

Even Downward Pressure

Overheating:

Overheating is visible as a bluish bearing surface color that is caused

by inadequate lubrication or excessive RPM.

Rust:

Rust formation on bearing surfaces causes uneven pitting of surface(s)
