Connecting Rod Large End Bore

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Ford Pickup, 2007 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2007 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2007 Ford Cab & Chassis. 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.
    • Refer to the appropriate Engine article for the procedure.
    • If out of specification, install new components as necessary. Refer to the appropriate Engine article for the procedure.
