Does an engine with replaced connecting rods perform the same as normal?
1 Answers
An engine with replaced connecting rods performs the same as normal. More information about connecting rods is as follows: 1. Introduction: The connecting rod is a rod-shaped component that connects the piston and the crankshaft. Its function is to transmit the enormous pressure borne by the piston to the crankshaft, causing the crankshaft to perform circular motion. The connecting rod consists of three parts: the small end, the rod body, and the big end. The small end is integrated with the connecting rod, with a bronze bushing installed inside the hole, connecting to the piston via the piston pin; the rod body has an I-shaped cross-section, which reduces mass while ensuring strength and stiffness, preventing it from twisting under pressure; the big end is divided into upper and lower parts, with the upper part cast integrally with the rod body, and the lower part being the connecting rod bearing cap, connected to the upper part with bolts. To ensure the big end can be smoothly removed from the cylinder, it comes in two forms: straight-cut and oblique-cut. 2. Features: The big end contains two semicircular connecting rod bearings. To reduce friction on the connecting rod journal, the bearing surface is coated with a layer of anti-friction alloy. Positioning between the connecting rod and the bearing cap is generally achieved through three methods: rabbet joint, serrated teeth, and positioning sleeve, ensuring accurate alignment between the two.
