CHECKING CONNECTING ROD ALIGNMENT
1. Remove the connecting rod crank pin bearing and tighten the rod bolts.

3. Place the gauge on the piston pin. Measure the gap between the pin of the gauge and the flat
surface of the aligner.
4. If the measurement exceeds the allowable limit, replace
IMPORTANT: Because the 1.0. of the connecting rod small end bushing is used as the basis
for this check, check it is not worn beforehand. See engine specifications.
