Figure 347 An offset indicates incorrect rod cap
assembly
The rod cap can only be correctly installed on the
connecting rod if it is oriented in the correct direction.
If the rod cap is reversed during assembly of the
connecting rod, an obvious offset will be seen at
the mating surfaces. If the connecting rod assembly
is installed on the crankshaft in this manner, the
connecting rod must be replaced. Also check the
crankshaft journal fillets for damage. Such damage
will require replacement of the crankshaft.
7. Lubricate the inside diameter of the connecting
rod cap bearing.
