Why Reconditioning Matters

Connecting rods face immense stresses—from piston movement and combustion forces to high RPMs. Over time, this leads to:

Taper and ovality in both big and small end bores
Misalignment and bent structures
Fatigue damage to serrations, bolts, or bushes

We do not recommend repairing a connecting rod if we find any loss of alignment or cracks. RA Power Solutions guarantees the satisfactory performance of every connecting rod we repair. We issue a calibration certificate for each connecting rod after repair.

FAQs:

1. How do I know when a connecting rod needs reconditioning?

Look out for engine noise, vibration, oil contamination, or routine inspection findings like ovality or taper in rod bores.

2. Can every connecting rod be repaired?

No—if the rod is bent or has significant cracks, especially near the bolts or serrations, replacement is safer than reconditioning.

3. What types of engines can you service?

We support a wide range—including MAN, B&W, Wartsila, MAK, Deutz, Daihatsu, Yanmar, Mitsubishi, Caterpillar, and many others.

4. How much cost savings can I expect?

Reconditioned rods usually cost 60–70% less than new OEM replacements.

5. Are your services available globally?

Yes—our onsite crankshaft repair and inspection teams operate worldwide, offering rapid response and minimizing downtime.

Connecting Rod Reconditioning – RA Power Solutions

Engines are the most important parts of heavy-duty industrial machinery, ships, and power plants. The connecting rod is one of the most important parts of an engine. It is very important for moving the combustion force from the piston to the crankshaft. Over time, these rods are put under a lot of stress, fatigue, and heat, which causes them to wear out and possibly break.

Connecting Rod Assembled with Piston After Repair

Rather than replacing connecting rods — which can be expensive and time-consuming — connecting rod reconditioning offers a cost-effective and reliable solution.

At RA Power Solutions, we offer world-class reconditioning services that restore the connecting rod to its original specifications and performance levels.

What Makes Reconditioning Necessary?

During engine operation, the connecting rods face:

High mechanical stress from piston motion
Thermal expansion and contraction
Wear and tear at the small and big end bearings
Cracks or distortion due to oil starvation or overloading

If these problems aren’t fixed, they could cause serious engine damage, such as a crankshaft failure, a piston seizure, or even a complete engine breakdown. That’s why it’s important to recondition things on time to avoid expensive repairs or replacements.

Detailed Reconditioning Process at RA Power Solutions

1. Initial Cleaning and Visual Inspection

Onsite connecting rod repair are cleaned and inspected for any visible signs of cracks, scoring, discoloration, or deformation.

2. Dimensional Analysis

We check for:

Ovality or taper in the big and small ends
Rod length
Bend and twist
Bore misalignment

All measurements are compared with OEM tolerances.

3. Crack Detection

Using Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods like Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI), we detect micro-cracks or structural flaws.

4. Big End and Small End Machining

If the big and small end bores are not round, we re-machine or hone them. If the bush on the tiny end is worn out, it is taken out and replaced with a new one that is the right size.

5. Replacement of Worn Components

We replace connecting rod bolts, nuts, and bushings using certified OEM or equivalent parts to ensure integrity under high load.

5. Straightening and Alignment

Using jigs and hydraulic presses, we realign the rod to original specifications, correcting any bend or twist developed during operation.

6. Final Inspection and Quality Control

Every reconditioned rod is tested for:

Dimensional accuracy
Surface finish
Bolt torque
Structural integrity

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

Q1. How do I know if my connecting rod needs reconditioning?

Look out for signs like abnormal engine noise, vibration, worn bearing surfaces, or metal particles in oil. An inspection during engine overhauls is highly recommended.

Q2. Is connecting rod reconditioning safe?

Yes, when done by experts using precision tools and NDT testing, reconditioned rods are as safe and reliable as new ones.

Q3. What engines do you service?

We work on all major makes, including MAN, Wartsila, Caterpillar, MAK, Daihatsu, Yanmar, SKL, Deutz, and more.

FAQs:

1. What is the connecting rod?

A connecting rod, sometimes known as a ‘con rod’, is a piston engine component that joins the piston to the crankshaft. The connecting rod, along with the crank, turns the piston’s reciprocating action into the rotation of the crankshaft.

2. What type of connecting rod is used in auxiliary engine?

The most frequent type of connecting rod used in the ship’s auxiliary engine is the oblique or cross-cut connecting rod, which is composed of two pieces.

3. How are connecting rods made?

The rods are made of drop-forged, heat-treated steel, which provides the necessary strength. Each rod end is drilled, with the smaller top bore connecting to the piston pin (wrist pin) in the piston. The rod’s big bore end is split in half and bolted so that it can be linked to the crankshaft.
