Connecting Rod
A forged steel I-beam connecting rod is used
for all L-series engines. They are full floating
design with bushed wrist pin ends.
NOTE: When removing and replacing the
connecting rod assemblies, be sure to install
the connecting rod with the Isuzu Logo
facing the same direction as the piston’s
forward notch.
IMPORTANT: The rod cap bolts are not to
be removed. It is shown only for clarity, but
is not a standard rod cap bolt. These bolts
serrations (to prevent the bolts from
turning) and are pressed onto the rod.
When servicing, the entire rod must be
replaced.
