Normally, worn bearings can be detected by reduced
oil pressure, but if this wear goes undetected, the
excessive clearance will increase the impact between
the bearing and crankshaft, causing a distinct
knocking sound.

A connecting rod noise occurs when the engine is not
loaded. Check by first applying a load, and then
unloading and listening for the noise.

The characters indicate either standard (STD) or the
amount of oversize (OS).
