DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Connecting rods
1.Small-end oil holes
2.Small-end bushing3.Connecting rod
4.Serrated fracture
The connecting rods are machined, H-section steel forgings which feature a fracture-split at the big-end between
the connecting rod and the bearing cap. The connecting rod features a serrated fracture across the big-end at
right angles to the length of the connecting rod, this forms a unique mating surface between the connecting rod
and the fractured end which is used as the big-end cap. The use of a fracture split in the big-end of the connecting
rod ensures a perfect match for assembly on the crankshaft bearing journals and provides the connecting rod with
strong resistance to lateral movement.
The end-cap fixing bolts are offset to ensure that the cap is fitted to the connecting rod in the correct orientation. If
the end-cap is fitted incorrectly and the end-cap bolts tightened, the connecting rod must be replaced, since the
matching serrations will have been damaged.
The big-end bearing shells are plain split halves without location tags. On EU2 vehicles the two halves of the
bearing shells are of different construction. The upper half bearing shell fitted to the connecting rod is treated
using the sputtering process to improve its resistance to wear. The connecting rod bearing shell can be identified
by having a slighter darker colouration than the big-end bearing cap shell, and the back face of the connecting rod
bearing shell has a shinier finish than the front face.
On EU3 vehicles both bearing shells are of the same construction as the connecting rod bearing shell.
The small-end of the connecting rod has a bushed solid eye which is free to move on the gudgeon pin, the
bushing is a hand push, interference fit. The steel bushing has two slots machined in its upper surface for
providing oil lubrication to the moving surface of the gudgeon pin. The oil slots must be correctly aligned to the oil
slots provided in the small end of the connecting rod. The small-end lubrication is supplied by squirt feed from the
piston lubrication jets.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Crankshaft
1.Front end to crankshaft sprocket
2.Oil supply cross-drillings
3.Main journals4.Big-end journals
5.Rear end to flywheel
The crankshaft is constructed from cast iron and is surface-hardened. The areas between the crankshaft journals
and the adjoining webs and balance weights are compressed using the cold roll process to form journal fillets.
Cross-drillings in the crankshaft between adjoining main and big-end bearings are used to divert lubrication oil to
the big-end bearings.
A torsional vibration damper is attached to the crankshaft pulley by three bolts.
The crankshaft is carried in six main bearings, with end-float being controlled by thrust washers positioned on both
sides of No. 3 main bearing.
Main bearings
There are six main bearings used to carry the crankshaft. Each of the bearing caps are of cast iron construction
and are attached to the cylinder block by two bolts.
The bearing shells are of the split cylindrical type. The upper half bearing shells are grooved to facilitate the supply
of lubrication oil to the bearings and fit into a recess in the underside of the cylinder block. The lower half bearing
shells are smooth and fit into the bearing caps.
Steel-backed, thrust washers are included at each side of No. 3 main bearing to control crankshaft end-float. One
side of each of the thrust washers is grooved, the grooved side of each of the thrust washers is fitted facing
outward from No. 3 main bearing.
