the bushing (Figure 13-74, Page 13-35).
Link Rod Bushing Replacement
1. Support the link rod around the entire big end, and using a 1.97 inch (50 millimeters) bearing driver (1),
drive the bushing (2) out of the rod (3), as shown (Figure 13-75).
2. Clean the parts thoroughly in a high flash-point solvent and dry them.
3. Coat the new bushing with new engine oil.
4. Using a 1.97 inch (50 millimeters) bearing driver, press the new bushing into the link rod with its seam
(6) toward the side of the link rod with the hollow (5) and at right angles to the rod center, to a depth of
0.039 inches (0.991 millimeters) from the surface (Figure 13-76).
NOTE
• THE WRIST PINS NORMALLY REQUIRE NO MAINTENANCE AND ARE TIGHTLY PRESSED INTO
THE WEIGHT.
COUNTERBALANCE WEIGHT
1. Clean the bearing surface and inspect it for wear or damage. Replace weight if necessary.
2. Using a telescoping gauge, measure the inside diameter of the bearing bore. If the inside diameter is
greater than 1.0283 inches (26.119 millimeters), replace the counterbalance weight (Figure 13-77).
