A connecting rod is the mechanical link between the piston and the crankshaft. By design, connecting rods convert vertical motion into rotary motion, eventually yielding torque at the flywheel. By ...

The con-rod connects the piston to the crankshaft to transfer combustion pressure to the crankpin. There are bearing portions at both ends, the piston side is called the small end, and the crankshaft ...

When you consider the crazy monkey motion of reciprocating internal combustion engines it is remarkable they work as well as they do. You have eight pistons and connecting rods doing a “do-si-do” ...

No. 3 piston and rod assembly, 3 compression rings, 4 lightening holes in piston, 2 bolts and 4 lightening holes in connecting rod. Piston diameter 9 cm (3 9/16 in.), Piston rod length 24 cm (9 1/2 in ...

Using pill-shaped pistons and a novel connecting-rod design, Ferrari has a way of making its V-12s shorter. Ferrari is not ...

It is generally acknowledged that connecting rod geometry, particularly center-to-center length, can have a material influence on a variety of engine conditions. These include specific relationships ...
