Connecting Rod Large End Bore

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Milan, 2010 Lincoln MKZ, and 2010 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Refer to SPECIFICATIONS (2.5L), SPECIFICATIONS (Hybrid), SPECIFICATIONS (3.0L) and SPECIFICATIONS (3.5L) for the specification.
  1. Tighten the bolts to specification, then measure the bore in 2 directions. The difference is the connecting rod bore out-of-round. Verify the out-of-round is within specification.
