(d) Check dimension between centerline of

small

and

large

end

bores

(fig.

This

dimension must be 10.998 to 11.002 inches. If

rods do not meet this limit, destroy to insure rods

are not reused in an engine.

(e) Inspect piston pin sleeve bearing bore

(fig. 6-34) for pitting, galling, scoring, or

discoloration.

Mark damaged bearings for

replacement.

(f) Connecting rods should be matched by

weight. Weight variations between connecting

rods in an engine should not exceed 0.5 ounce.
