Note: The large and small end bores must be square and parallel with each other within the limits of
± 0,127 mm (0.005 in) measured 127 mm (5.0 in) each side of the connecting rod axis on a test mandrel.
2 Check the small end bush for wear or for other damage and renew it, if necessary.
3 Check the fit of the gudgeon pin in the small end bush and check the gudgeon pin for wear. Refer to the

Small end bush
To remove and to fit Operation 4-10
1 Press out the old bush with a suitable adaptor.
2 Clean the connecting rod bore and remove any sharp edges.
