What is the purpose of a connecting rod bushing?

The connecting rod bushing, also known as a wrist pin bushing, sits in the small end of the connecting rod. It provides a smooth, durable surface for the wrist pin to rotate within, ensuring proper alignment and reducing wear on both components.

Do these bushings come pre-lubricated?

These bushings are typically installed dry and require proper lubrication during engine assembly. Always refer to your engine assembly manual or Manley's installation guidelines for specific lubrication and installation procedures.

What other parts are typically replaced during a connecting rod rebuild?

When rebuilding connecting rods, it's common to replace the rod bearings, rod bolts, and ensure the connecting rod itself is in good condition. For the small end, replacing the wrist pin and bushing is standard practice for a complete rebuild.
