Connecting Rod Bolt Inspection
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Measure the diameter of each connecting rod bolt at the 2 measurement points (1 and 2) - 35 mm (1.38 in) (a) and 20 mm (0.79 in) (b).
- Calculate the difference between the 2 measurements. If the difference between the 2 measurements exceeds the specification, replace the bolt.
Specification: Connecting rod bolt - difference in diameter: 0.0-0.1 mm (0.0-0.004 in)
