Connecting Rod Bolt Inspection

Connecting Rod Bolt Inspection

1. Measure the diameter of each connecting rod bolt at point A and point B with a micrometer.





2. Calculate the difference in diameter between point A and point B.

Point A-Point B = Difference in Diameter

Difference in Diameter:
Specification: 0-0.05 mm (0-0.002 in.)

3. If the difference in diameter is out of tolerance, replace the connecting rod bolt.
