Inspection
1. Visually inspect rod assembly (9) for cracks and for twisted or bent condition. Replace cracked, bent, or twisted
rods.
NOTE
Under no circumstances should connecting rods be
straightened. Destroy any rod found damaged to ensure
it will not be reused in an engine.
2. Inspect piston pin bushing oil hole (10) for proper alignment.
3. Check metal balls (11) that seal oil passages at sides of rod, making sure they are positioned properly. Replace
rods that are missing balls.
4. Inspect piston pin sleeve bearing (12) for pitting, galling, scoring, or discoloration. Mark damaged bearings for
replacement.
