Connecting Rod - Cleaning

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mazda Tribute and 2002 Mazda Tribute. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Do not use a caustic cleaning solution or damage to connecting rods can occur.
NOTE: If the connecting rod large end is mechanically split or cracked to produce a unique parting face, a locking joint is produced. Parts are not interchangeable.
  1. Mark and separate the parts and clean with solvent. Clean the oil passages.
