Connecting rod general - GF03.10-P-9611-01F

Connecting rod 

Forged steel connecting rod cracked.

The connecting rod is forged in one piece and has a specified fracture point (a) in the middle of the crankshaft boss, at which it is cracked.

This ensures more accurate fit than was previously the case between connecting rod and Conrad bearing cap.
