FAQ
Q1: How do I confirm this is the correct bushing for my specific C7.1 engine?
A: The most accurate method is to reference your engine’s serial number (ESN) or the part number stamped on your original, worn bushing. This part is built to the OEM size for the C7.1 platform. For critical applications, providing your ESN to our technical team allows for definitive verification.
Q2: What is included in the quality documentation?
A: With your shipment, you can request a detailed machinery test report verifying critical dimensions and material properties. We also provide a video outgoing-inspection file, which visually documents the final quality check of your specific batch before packing, ensuring transparency.
Q3: What are the key installation precautions for this connecting rod bushing?
A: Proper installation is critical. The bushing must be pressed in squarely using the correct mandrel to avoid distortion. The oil holes must be perfectly aligned with those in the connecting rod. Always use a precision bore gauge to verify the final inside diameter and oil clearance after installation, as specified in the engine service manual. Proper lubrication during initial assembly is mandatory.
