The rod is attached to the piston on one end and the crankshaft on the other. The force applied to the piston during ignition of the gases is transferred to the crankshaft through the connecting rod. Then the crank turns and the connecting rod moves the piston up and down to either expel gases, intake a fuel/air mixture or compress the fuel/air mixture.

What are connecting rods used for?
Connecting rods connects the piston to the crank in an automotive engine. This simple and elegant mechanism converts reciprocating motion into rotating motion.
The connecting rods of a diesel engine are characterized as being part of the?
powertrain
Does the 4.6 liter Mustang GT V8 engine have forged connecting rods?
no
How many connecting rods bolt to each crankshaft journal in a V-type engine?
In a V-type engine, typically two connecting rods bolt to each crankshaft journal. This arrangement allows for efficient power transfer and balanced operation, as each cylinder bank has its own set of connecting rods attached to the crankshaft. The configuration can vary in some unique engine designs, but the standard setup involves two rods per journal.
What are bottom end bearings?
If you are referring to an internal combustion engine they are also called the 'big ends'. These are the bearings on the crankshaft and connecting rods, the bearings on the other end of the connecting rods are the 'small ends'.
How many bearing caps r there in 350 engine?
5 mains, 8 connecting rods
Where does the oil holes in the connecting rods positioned in the block of a Mitsubishi 6G74 engine?
In the Mitsubishi 6G74 engine, the oil holes in the connecting rods are typically positioned to align with the oil passages in the engine block. This design allows for proper lubrication of the rod bearings during operation. The oil is directed through these passages, ensuring that the connecting rods receive adequate oil flow to reduce friction and wear. Proper alignment is crucial for optimal engine performance and longevity.
What increases tensional loading on connecting rods?
Engine (Piston) speed and things like ring drag
Which way does the oil groove face on 3.7 connecting rods?
On 3.7-liter engines, the oil groove on the connecting rods typically faces the crankshaft. This orientation ensures proper oil flow for lubrication, allowing oil to be drawn from the crankshaft and distributed to the connecting rod bearings during engine operation. Always consult the specific engine manual for precise installation guidelines.
Is the non-turbo engine of a 300zx the same as a turbo engine of a 300zx?
Hello, No it is not. The turbo's have stronger pistons and connecting rods, plus a different compression ratio. Connecting rods are the same. Only documented differences are (NA Engine): 1) higher compression pistons 2) thinner wrist pins 3) absences of oil squirters 4) slightly different porting on heads
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.
Do connecting rod bearings have to sit completely flush with the connecting rods?
yes
