Note on connecting rod versions The axial play of the connecting rods is limited by the piston pin eye (piston-guided connecting rods). For this purpose appropriate thrust surfaces (arrow) are cast on the piston pin eye. Connecting rods for engines 602.96, 603.96/97 are not bored hollow. Overheated connecting rods Connecting rods which have been overheated due to a damaged bearing (blue discoloration) cannot be reused. Matching connecting rods and connecting rod bearing caps are marked (arrow). The connect- ing rod shafts should not have any transverse score marks or notches. Replacement connecting rods are supplied with machined connecting rod bushings.
