NOTE:
The connecting rods are not selective.
The connecting rods have fracture-split bearing caps. The connecting rod bearing caps are produced by fracturing the opposing sides of the connecting rod at the bearing horizontal centerline. As well as being easier to manufacture, when reassembled, the fractured surfaces interlock to form a strong seamless joint.
The cylinder position is etched on adjoining sides of the joint to identify matching connecting rods and connecting rod bearing caps.
The large end bearings are selective split plain bearings designed to produce a high load capacity for improved durability.
