Connecting Rod Large End Bore

NOTE: Refer to ENGINE MECHANICAL - 3.5L or ENGINE MECHANICAL - 3.5L-GTDI 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.
