Function and location
This listing offers a partial set with 4 connecting rods. The complete factory set under the number 11242243157 consists of 6 connecting rods – anyone wanting to fully equip a six-cylinder engine needs 2 more.

The split crankshaft bearing sits in the big end, the bronze bushing for the piston pin in the small end.
Installation location: In the crank drive between the piston pin and the crankshaft crank pin.
