Connecting Rods

Selection

Each rod is sorted into one of four tolerance ranges (from 0 to 0.024 mm, in 0.006 mm increments) depending on the size of its big end bore. It's then stamped with a number (1, 2, 3 or 4) indicating that tolerance. You may find any combination of 1, 2, 3 or 4 in any engine.

Normal Bore Size: D15B8: 48 mm (1.89 in) Except D15B8: 45 mm (1.77 in)
NOTE:
•   Reference numbers are for big end bore size and do NOT indicate the position of rod in engine.
•   Inspect connecting rod for cracks and heat damage.
