Insert a thickness gauge [B] between the big end and either crank web to determine clearance.
Connecting rod big end side clearance
Standard: 0.13-0.33 mm
Service Limit: 0.5 mm
★ If the clearance exceeds the service limit, replace the connecting rod with new one and then check clearance again. If clearance is too large after connecting rod replacement, the crankshaft also must be replaced.
