Problem
Some connecting rod assemblies may have been machined incorrectly. A machining discrepancy in the rod eye bore may not allow the rod eye bushing outside diameter to make complete contact with the rod eye bore. This can reduce the life of the bushing.

Connecting Rod Inspection

The date code is located on the side of the side of the rod cap at cap to rod joint. The date code format is YYMXXXX where (YY) is the year, (M) is a letter denoting the month, and (XXXX) is a sequence number. Rods with date
