Wear marks are visible but not appreciable at a

fingernail. Pittings are not only visible but also noti-
ceable at a fingernail.

Single distinctly raised spots caused by pitting should

be gently smoothed by careful, local treatment with
a file.
The serration on the connecting rod and on the
bearing cap can be damaged by improper handling
during dismounting, transport and overhaul work.
Note ! The connecting rod and bearing cap must
therefore be handled with care.
Single dent marks caused by impact can be rectified
by gentle and careful local treatment with a file.
In case of damage of the serration, reuse must
be rejected, and a new connecting rod assembly
including new bearing shells must be mounted in
the engine.
Fig. 1. Point of measurement
For check of roundness the big-end bore has to be
measured in a condition, where the connecting rod
is mounted with the bearing cap but without bearing
shells, and the connecting rod screws are tightened
up with the prescribed torque, see working card
606-01.25.
Note ! The ident no. on the connecting rod and the
bearing cap, must always be the same, see fig. 3.
Measurements must be taken 30 mm from seration
centerline. See fig. 1.
The measuring is executed with an inside micro-
meter.

The connecting rod screws are to be carefully clean-
ed.
The threads are inspected for seizures and tested
in the threaded holes in the connecting rod. The test
must confirm, that the screws can be turned into
bottom position by hand. The contact surface of the
screw heads is inspected for seizure and pittings.
Five different diameters are measured in the middle
of the boring, see fig. 1 and registered in the scheme
"Connecting Rod Inspection". See page 4.
The maximum ovalnees is calculated as the dif-
ference between biggest and smallest diamenter
measured. For maximum allowable ovalness see
page 600.35.

If the ovalness exceeds this value, reuse must be
rejected and a new complete connecting rod, inclu-
ding new screws and new bearing shells has to be
mounted in the engine.

Please note that squares for statement of information
and identification, should also be properly filled in.
Connecting Rod Bush.

Inspect the surface of the piston pin and the connec-

ting rod bush. Measure the clearance between the
piston pin and bush, max. clearance between pin
and bush, see page 600.35.

In case the specified clearance is exceeded, contact

The example, see fig. 2 shows measurements and

damage observations for two connecting rods, on the
scheme "Connecting Rod Inspection", (In case the
specified maximum ovalness is exceeded, contact
MAN B&W Diesel A/S, Holeby for overhaul).

For connecting rod no. 1 the maximum ovalness is

For connecting rod no. 2 the maximum ovalness is

0,125 mm and therefore the connecting rod is being
rejected. Fig. 3.
