Checking Bending
Check the bend of the connecting rod (3) by compar-
ing two points (C and D) of the pin (4) on the vertical
plane of the connecting rod axis. Position the vertical
support (2) of the dial gauge (1) so that this rests on
the pin (4) at point C as shown in the figure. Swing the
connecting rod to and fro, seeking the highest posi-
tion of the pin and reset the dial gauge (1) in this con-
dition. Move the spindle with the connecting rod (3)
and on the opposite side D of the pin (4) repeat the
check for the highest point. The difference between
points C and D must be no greater than 0.08 mm
(0.0031 in).
