Connecting Rod Repair

After disassembly and cleaning, connecting rods are magnetic particle inspected for cracks and shot peened in a custom-built machine. We grind or mill the parting faces on the big-end before reassembly and honing to size. When the big-end is completed the old bushing is replaced and the connecting rod is pin-bored to correct diameter and center-to-center distance.

Finally, every rod is inspected to verify center-to-center distance, big and small-end bore diameters, bore out-of-roundness, bend and twist. In instances where the balance of the connecting rod is critical, Power Engineering can correctly weigh and balance to OEM specifications. All work is performed in-house, under our strict quality controls.
