CONSTRUCTION
The connecting rods are made of high-strength steel for weight reduction.
Plastic region tightening bolts are used.
The width of the connecting rod bearings has been optimized to reduce friction.
The lining surface of the connecting rod bearing has been micro-grooved to provide an optimal amount of oil clearance. As a result, cold-engine cranking performance has been improved and engine vibrations has been reduced.
