Piston & Rod Assembly

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1999 Acura 3.0CL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Connecting rods are available in 4 size tolerance ranges. Rod size depends on crank journal bore. A reference number between 1 and 4 is stamped on side of rod's big end bore. Any combination of numbers between 1 and 4 may be found in engine. Nominal connecting rod's big end bore is 2.20" (56 mm).
    NOTE: Reference numbers are for big end bore code. Numbers do not indicate rod position in engine.
