Connecting Rod - Large End Bore

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Tighten the bolts to specification, then measure the bore in two directions. The difference is the connecting rod bore out-of-round. Verify the out-of-round is within specifications.
    • Refer to the appropriate ENGINE article for the procedure.
    • If out of specification, install new components as necessary. Refer to the appropriate ENGINE article for the procedure.
