To remain in service under even the most demanding of conditions, heavy-duty connecting rods require precision machining. Because the combustion process in a diesel engine is controlled by compression, incorrect or unequal length rods will drastically affect the performance of the engine. With conventional rod reconditioning equipment, the two ends are normally done in two steps on different machines. This increases the risk of nonparallel bores and incorrect center-to-center distances.
