Oil Clearance between Piston Pin and Small End Bushing
1. Measure the piston pin O.D. where it contacts the bushing with
an outside micrometer.
2. Measure the small end bushing I.D. with an inside micrometer,
and calculate the oil clearance.
3. If the oil clearance exceeds the allowable limit, replace the
bushing. If it still exceeds the allowable limit, replace the piston
pin.

Replacing Connecting Rod Small End Bushing
(When removing)
1. Press out the used small end bushing using a small end bushing
replacing tool. (See page “SPECIAL TOOLS”.)
(When installing)
1. Clean a new small end bushing and bore, and apply engine oil to
them.
2. Using a small end bushing replacing tool, press in a new bushing
taking due care to see that the connecting rod oil hole matches
the bushing hole.

Connecting Rod Alignment
NOTEQ
• Since the I.D. of the connecting rod small end bushing is the
basis of this check, check bushing for wear beforehand.
1. Install the piston pin into the connecting rod.
2. Install the connecting rod on the connecting rod alignment tool.
3. Put a gauge over the piston pin, and move it against the face
plate.
4. If the gauge does not fit squarely against the face plate, measure
the space between the pin of the gauge and the face plate.
5. If the measurement exceeds the allowable limit, replace the
connecting rod.
