There is no reason why you can't. If the rod bearing is still in it, you can tell if it has been spun. If the bearing appears alright, there should be no reason to have it checked. You would use new rings and a new bearing which are the parts that matter. You might even be able to use the old rings and bearing, but no one would. Too much chance of having a problem after it was put in.

Why are connecting rods used in a car engine?

Con rods are used not ony in car engines, but in just about all piston engines. They're needed to turn the reciprocating(back-forth) motion of the piston into the rotary motion of the crankshaft. That rotation is then - via the gearbox, prop shaft etc what propels the car forward.


How do you decompress the brake piston on a Volvo S40?

Volvo have a tool to do this. I just used long nosed pliers on the lugs on the piston. You have to put pressure on using pliers whilst turning piston in an anti clockwise direction. slowly but surely it should start to decompress. I had a problem with one but used a 'G' clamp to put more pressure on.

Can you put a use piston in?

no no no no no, and once again to solidify my point, no! as the engine is used your pistons, and cylinder walls wear in a certain pattern, and they have a different level of wear from car to car, what you have to do generally is send the motor to a machinist to bore the cylinders out slightly, then get new oversized pistons


How do you repair a 4th cylinder with no compression in a 1999 ford escort?

I suspect the valve seat in the no. 4 cylinder has dropped and has been hammered by the piston into the head. If the piston is all right you will have to put a used or rebuilt head on it. If the piston or the sides of the cylinder wall are scored you will have to take the engine out of the car and repair the no. 4 piston and will possibly have to have the no. 4 cylinder bored out to the next size. It isn't a fluke that the valve seat dropped. Anyone who has worked on Escorts wil tell you they have seen it time and time again.
