When talking about connecting rods for a 350 engine what is meant by small journal or large journal and how do you determine which is which?
A large journal has 9/16 in. Rod nuts
A previous comment was "On The Engine There Is A Large Journal This Is The Crankshaft Journal That Is What They Must Be Talking About. Where The Rods Go Is Call The Small Journal. This Is The Only Way It Can Be. Hope This Helps"
I will presume that this question is not about the difference between 'big end' and 'little end' of the connecting rods. Use of the word 'journal' indicates to me that the question is about big-end bearing size, not 'which end of the rod is which'.
Technically, of course, the "journal" is the part of the crankshaft on which the bearing in the big end rides, but the measured difference between journal and bearing-bore spec would be little more than the thickness of an effective hydrodynamic lubricating film.
Presumably this question concerns the GM 350 Chevy engine; look here for more specific information:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Small-Block_engine
(Other related wiki pages related to specific GM small-block designs exist too). There is specific information on the different journal sizes -- ISTR specific mention is made, with dimensions, of at least one version of the engine that has different crank-journal specs depending on year.
To answer the specific question, the 'definitive' way would be to remove one of the rod-bearing caps and push the rod up sufficiently to get a measurement on the crank throw. Measure the crank journal diameter at several points (to eliminate some of the effect of wear), then compare this to the tech information. I believe there are ways to tell from the engine serial number, but I do not know that information personally.
Hope this helps properly...
What else can I help you with?
What is a rod journal?
Connecting rod journals are the part of the crankshaft where the connecting rods attach to. There is one rod journal for each piston/connecting rod in the engine. These journals have a machined surface so the connecting rod bearings can move smoothly as the crankshaft rotates.
What is the connecting rod journal also called?
The connecting rod journal is also commonly referred to as the "big end" of the connecting rod. It is the part of the connecting rod that connects to the crankshaft, allowing for the conversion of linear motion of the piston into rotational motion. This component is critical for the engine's operation, as it facilitates the transfer of power generated during combustion.
Excessive copper in the engine oil?
The big-end shells (connecting rod to crankshaft) and crank shaft journal bearings have failed.
What is a fork connecting rod?
A forked connecting rod is where two connecting rods and there pistons are connected to one crankshaft journal as is the case of the old side valve ford v 8 engine but i believe this practice is still used to-day----------------jim
Was their a small journal 350 Chev engine?
No.
What is the procedure on how to assemble and disassemble the connecting rod?
To assemble a connecting rod, first ensure all components are clean and free of debris. Align the crankshaft journal with the connecting rod's big end, then insert the connecting rod into place and secure it with bolts, tightening them to the manufacturer's specified torque. To disassemble, first remove the nuts or bolts securing the connecting rod to the crankshaft, then gently tap the connecting rod away from the crankshaft while ensuring not to damage any surrounding components. Always refer to the specific vehicle or engine service manual for detailed instructions and torque specifications.
In a automotive engine the wrist pin connects?
In an automotive engine, the wrist pin connects the piston to the connecting rod. It allows the piston to move up and down while the connecting rod transfers this motion to the crankshaft. This connection is crucial for proper engine operation and performance.
How do replace connecting rod bearings?
1. Clean the bearing surface of connecting rod and connecting rod cap. 2. Clean upper connecting rod bearing and lubricate the bearing face with clean engine oil. 3. Clean lower connecting rod bearing and lubricate the bearing face with clean engine oil. NOTE: Align the tabs on the connecting rod bearingswith the tab grooves in the connecting rod. 4. Install upper connecting rod bearing in connecting rod. 5. Pull the connecting rod into position against thecrankshaft. The connecting rod may need to be rotated in order to prevent contact with the piston cooling jet. 6. Install lower connecting rod bearing in connecting rod cap. 7. Install bearing cap in position on connecting rod. Ensure that the identification numbers are stamped on the same side. 8. If you have Type A connecting rods, install two bolts and two nuts. If you have Type B connecting rods, install two bolts. The torque is very important. It's probably 40 ft pounds plus 1/4 turn.9. Repeat Steps 1 through 8 for the remaining connecting rod bearings.
How does a piston moves downward in d suction operation in a 4stroke engine?
The piston is moved by the connecting rod which in turn is moved by the crankshaft. It is only on the power stroke that the piston moves the connecting rod, crankshaft and all the rest of the engine, in all the other strokes the engine, crankshaft and connecting rod move the piston.
How do you identify the engine of an Chevrolet?
If you are talking about the small block V-8 Chevy engine, there is a small flat pad with an engine id number located on the block, in front and below the passengers side cylinder head. Using that number, visit web Chevrolet engine identification sites to determine which engine you have.
Function of a connecting rod of an ic engine?
In a reciprocating engine, the connecting rod is used to connect the piston to the crankshaft. It converts the linear motion (reciprocating motion) of the piston to the circular motion of the crankshaft.
What is the connecting rod length on a Volkswagen AER 1.0L Engine?
The length of the connecting rod in a Volkswagen AER 1.0 L engine is 5.670 inches long. It is made of forged 4340 steel.
