Connecting Rod - Large End Bore

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Ford Pickup, 2003 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2003 Ford F450 Super Duty, 2003 Ford Excursion, and 2003 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 two directions. The difference is the connecting rod bore out-of-round. Verify the out-of-round is within specification.
    • Refer to the appropriate article in ENGINE for the procedure.
    • If out of specification, install new components as necessary. Refer to the appropriate article in ENGINE for the procedure.
