    Connecting Rod Side Play

    Manuals I have seen state side play should be 0.041mm on the connecting rods, but mine is somewhere on the order of 0.2mm. Am I measuring wrong or do I have issues?

    are you sure they quote 0.04mm (0.0016"), i didnt see any reference in bentley? some basically googling suggests that 0.20mm (0.008") is not too loose

        Boy, unless I saw evidence of damage or obvious wear, I'd not worry about it.

        Haynes isn't the final answer for accurate measurements... and .008" seems
        right to me, just from experience...

        now, sometimes I just mess with people. It's more entertaining that way. george graves
