• Bushing 422708 shares the same five applications and is the renewable bush for this rod, so inspect it at the same time
• Connecting rods are weight-matched in a set, so check the rod set balance and always fit new rod bolts
• Have the rod checked for straightness and the big end resized rather than assuming a used rod is serviceable
