Piston pins and connecting rods — inspection (Scorpio 1)

The piston pins are installed into the heated connecting rods.

Typically, piston pins are replaced when pistons are replaced.

The connecting rods are not subject to wear during engine operation, however, in some cases, such as engine seizure, they may become deformed. This can be noticed visually, but if there is any doubt, the connecting rods can be checked and replaced if necessary.
