DESCRIPTION

Refer to Figure 191.

The connecting rod assembly has two alignment sleeves (3), one sleeve in each capscrew hole of the rod cap (1) to locate and align the cap and rod thrust faces. These sleeves provide the best alignment when sleeve gaps are positioned at a location approximately 90 degrees to the tongue or groove (2). The sleeve gap must not be in line with the tongue or groove.
