Connecting Rod Bolts
Use the original connecting bolts and nuts.
The original connecting rod bolt has recesses at both ends to measure its length and
determine the bolt stretch.
Install the original bolts into the connecting rod.
Before every tightening, use a point micrometer to measure the length of the bolts and
record the values to find the bolt stretch.
Apply a small amount of molybdenum disulfide grease to the threads of bolts.
Tighten the big end nuts at the torque of 11.8 ±2 N·m (1.2 ±0.2 kgf·m): reference
Check the length of the bolts and find the bolt stretch.
Bolt Length after tightening – Bolt Length before tightening = Stretch
Bolt Stretch
Usable Range: 0.33 ~ 0.38 mm (0.013 ~ 0.015 in.)
Turn the big end nuts more until the bolt stretch reaches the usable range.
NOTE
Replace the original bolts with new ones if they have already been tightened up to usable
range 2 times.
