Tap to Rods Relieve Stress
- 6. Visually check if connecting rod and its bearing cap have actually
joined, that is, if no obstruction is in the joint.
- 7. Minor stresses which may result from tightening the connecting rod
retaining nuts can be relieved through light hammer blows. The
connecting rods, oiled prior to installation, should tip freely
under their own weight. Under no circumstances may bearings be dressed
or reworked to fit.
