What are the consequences of engine connecting rod deformation?
1 Answers
Deformation of the connecting rod will lead to uneven force distribution during operation. Over time, it may result in fatigue fracture, and in severe cases, damage to the cylinder block, crankshaft, etc. Therefore, it is best to replace it promptly. The following is a related introduction to connecting rods: 1. Introduction: The connecting rod links the piston and the crankshaft, transmitting the force from the piston to the crankshaft and converting the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion of the crankshaft. 2. Composition: The connecting rod assembly consists of the connecting rod body, connecting rod big end cap, connecting rod small end bushing, connecting rod big end bearing, and connecting rod bolts (or screws). 3. Main failure modes: The primary failure modes of connecting rods are fatigue fracture and excessive deformation.
