Rod Bearing Selection: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Honda Odyssey and 2005 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Each rod falls into one of four tolerance ranges (from 0 to 0.024 mm (0.0009 in.), in 0.006 mm (0.0002 in.) increments) depending on the size of its big end bore. It's then stamped with a number or bar (1, 2, 3, or 4/I, II, III, or IIII) indicating the range. You may find any combination of 1,2,3, or 4/I, II, III, or IIII in any engine.
- Normal Bore Size: 58.0 mm (2.28 in.)
Inspect the connecting rod for cracks and heat damage.
