Connecting Rod - Cleaning
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Lincoln Town Car. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Do not use a caustic cleaning solution or damage to connecting rods can occur.
- Mark and separate the parts and clean with solvent. Clean the oil passages.
NOTE:
The connecting rod large end is a matched set. The connecting rod cap must be installed on the original connecting rod in the original position. Do not reverse the cap. Parts are not interchangeable.
