Rod, Piston And Connecting: Description
CAUTION:
Do not use a metal stamp to mark connecting rods as damage may result, instead use ink or a scratch awl.
The pistons are made of a high-strength forged aluminum alloy. Piston skirts are coated with a solid graphite lubricant to reduce friction and provide scuff resistance. The piston top ring groove and land is anodized. The connecting rods are made of forged powdered metal with a "fractured cap" design. A floating piston pin is used to attach the piston and connecting rod.
