Connecting Rod Cleaning Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Cadillac ATS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:

Do not clean titanium components with chlorinated solvents. Brake parts, and similar cleaning solvents, safety solvents, or refrigerant that contains chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) should not be used. Using chlorinated solvents to clean titanium components can result in component damage, leading to stress corrosion cracking that may be undetected with normal visual inspection. Acceptable materials for cleaning titanium components include non-chlorinated solvents, alcohol, acetone, and methanol.

  1. Clean the connecting rods with proper solvents.
    2. WARNING:

    Refer to Safety Glasses Warning .

  2. Dry the connecting rod using compressed air.
  3. Remove the connecting rod cap and clean the threads.
  4. Remove the connecting rod bearing and discard. Never reuse a connecting rod bearing used in a running engine.
