CRACKING CONNECTING ROD
This engine provides cracking connecting rods to utilize
productivity improvement and to trim weight.
The cracking connecting rod is split from the single-
piece connecting rod assembly into connecting rod and
bearing cap.
Since the connecting rod and bearing cap have
complex mating surfaces to hold them each other, the
dowel pin is not required when assembling connecting
rod.
In the following case, the mating surfaces of connecting
rod and bearing cap are damaged. Replace them if
false installed.
– Interchange the connecting rods or bearing caps.
– Bearing cap is installed oppositely.
