Connecting rod

A connecting rod is an important part of an engine that connects the piston to the crankshaft. It converts the up and down movement of the piston into a rotational movement of the crankshaft. This helps transmit the power created by the combustion of fuel to the crankshaft, causing the engine to turn. The connecting rod also helps to balance the masses in the engine , which ensures smooth operation and reduces vibration.

In general, it is advisable to replace the connecting rod as part of an engine overhaul or when there are signs of wear, damage or lack of lubrication during inspection or maintenance work. It is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and perform regular maintenance to maintain the proper functioning of the engine .
