Scott Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I'm not really into this sort of stuff but by looking at them i would say you loosen the 2 screws to take off the top part so that they can be attached to the crank shaft. The other end looks like it would attach to the pistons via a pin or something. Scott =op Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Heres a pic of what i mean.

kylestt Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 You would Loosen the 2 bolts but do NOT remove them. Once they are almost all the way loose, then you can use the rubber mallet i was telling you about to knock the end loose. Then remove the bolts and the rod cap should come right off.

Scott Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Ok i'm switched into learning mode now. Why don't you remove the bolts straight away? I'm guessing its not just to stop the end from pinging off? Scott =op Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylestt Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Correct Scott. Keeps things in a safe ;-). And prevent its from flying and possibly scratching or nicking where the rod bearing rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 If you are not building the engine why not leave this to your engine builder in case you damage something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Shane_ Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 here is a pic of the rods The bolts are in a seperate package NOT attached to the conrod at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
and1c Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 here is a pic of the rods The bolts are in a seperate package NOT attached to the conrod at all Shane, The rods will seperate in to two parts mate if you give them a tap on the big end with a rubber mallet. However if you have someone competent building your engine you could just take the conrods and ARPs in the seperate packets to the engine builder. If he has trouble putting them together I think it's a sign he will struggle with a rebuild! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Shane_ Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 I know what ur saying mate but the last rods i had in my hand were for my gt turbo rebuild a few years back and they opened simply by unscrewing the apr bolts Was just wondering why these were closed without the bolts been attached thats all All is good though, I wont be touchin the car or the rods. Builder will be doing this when i have all my bits together thanks lads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
