3. Check the connecting rod.
1. When reinstalling, check the cylinder numbers on the connecting rods and the caps. When installing a new connecting rod, the notches for bearing fixing on the connecting rods and caps should face the same direction.
2. If one or both edge of the connecting rod thrust surface is damaged, replace the rod. If the inner surface of the rod is damaged or rough, also replace it.
3. Using a connecting rod aligner, measure the bent or torsion of the rod. If the measurement is near the specification, adjust the rod with a press. If the rod is bent or twisted excessively, replace it.
  Allowable bend of connecting rod
  
  0.05mm/100mm (0.0020in./3.9370in.)
  
  Allowable twist of connecting rod
  
  0.1mm/100mm (0.0039in./3.9370in.)
  
  NOTE: When assembling the rod without a bearing, there should be no difference.
