Can someone please tell me the specifications for the piston/rod pins? bushing?

I have the 968 engine apart, and I want to measure the piston/rod pins. I absolutely want to replace them if they need to be replaced.

I havent been able to find much information on this, and the machine shop tells me that this info is not in the factory manual.

Thanks for any help/advice

its not in the PET catalog, shows the pin, but no info on it. I would doubt it would need to be replaced

200,000 miles on the engine - people must know these dimnensions when they have aftermarket carillo rods installed.

Anyone??

Never sure quite how to read these things, but does this help?

(from 968 shop manual)

thanks!

I wonder why my machinist couldnt find that in the factory manual.

Dave - can you comment on my other thread concerning cranshaft rod bearing oil journal modifications? (perp drilling vs cross drilling vs enlarging current oil journal) AND whether or not it should be done on just #2 and #3 or all four?

Thanks!

Alas, on this issue I will defer to wiser folks than I. Although the 968's seem to suffer less from this issue... don't know why.
