Connecting Rod Bolts 

1. Original Connecting Rod 

Use the original connecting bolts and nuts. 
Make recesses at both ends of the original connecting rod bolt to measure its length and 

determine the bolt stretch. 

Connecting Rod : 

13251 – 0005 

Bolt : 

92153 – 0491 

 

92153 – 0809 (Kit Part : Attached Recess) 

Nut : 

92015 - 1311 

 

 

 

 

Install the original bolts into the connecting rod. 

 

Before every tightening, use a point micrometer to measure the length of the bolts and 
record the values to find the bolt stretch. 

 

Apply a small amount of molybdenum disulfide grease to the threads and seating 
surfaces of nuts and bolts. 

 

Tighten the big end nuts at the torque (reference torque) of 20 N·m (2.0 kgf·m, 14.5 ft·lb). 

 

Check the length of the bolts and find the bolt stretch. 

Bolt Length after tightening – Bolt Length before tightening = Stretch 

Bolt Stretch 

Usable Range: 0. 32 mm (0.0126 in.) target 

 

Turn the big end nuts more until the bolt stretch reaches the usable range. 

 

NOTE 

○ 

Replace the original bolts with new ones if they have already been tightened up to 
usable range 2 times. 

○ 

Replace the bolts with new ones if they are used for the engine with a not clear feature.
