Pic. 2.169. Connecting Rod Backlash Measurement
Measure the backlash of the bottom end of the connecting rod (pic. 2.169).
If the connecting rod end clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the piston, piston pin, piston ring, and connecting rod assembly.
- Normal clearance: 0.14–0.36 mm.
- Maximum clearance: 0.435 mm.
