Connecting Rod Large End Bore

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Tighten the bolts to specification, then measure the bore in 2 directions. The difference is the connecting rod bore out-of-round. Verify the out-of-round is within specification.
    • If out of specification, install new components as necessary.
