- Check the connecting rod for any signs of damage or wear. A damaged HAVAL connecting rod can lead to engine misfires and reduced performance.
- Use the correct torque specifications when tightening the connecting rod bolts. Incorrect torque can result in loose or over - tightened bolts, which may cause engine failure.
- Lubricate the connecting rod bearings with high - quality engine oil before installation. This reduces friction and helps in smooth operation of the engine.
Warning: Do not reuse the connecting rod bolts (OE# 1004200AEN031T) as they may have been stressed during previous use. Always install new bolts to ensure proper engine safety and performance.
