In our workshop, we have the capacity to recondition not only four-stroke but also two-stroke connecting rods of big-size engines.

Connecting rods are under high stress from the reciprocating load represented by the piston. Common failures that occur most often on four-stroke connecting rods are ovality, cracks in the way of the serration or overheating in the big-end bore and ovality or damage in the small-end bore.

We recondition four-stroke connecting rods following the procedure described below:

  • Cleaning
  • Dimensional inspection- Reporting
  • Dismantling
  • Magnetic particle testing (Magnaflux) for crack detection on serration. Magnaflux is a non-destructive testing process for the detection of not only surface but also subsurface discontinuities by direct or indirect magnetization.
  • Restoration of the big end bore to the original diameter
  • Replacement of the small-end bush if required
  • Assembly and tightening following OEM tightening instructions
  • Final dimensional inspection- Reporting

NDT services and certificates are issued by certified personnel (Level II EN473).
