FAQ

Q: How can I confirm this connecting rod fits my specific engine?
A: Verify the part number stamped on your existing connecting rod. It should match one of the following: 8-98018425-0, 8980184250, 8980757761, or 8-98075776-1. If your part number matches, this connecting rod is the correct replacement. If you are unsure, provide us with your engine serial number and the stamped number from your old part for verification.

Q: Is it necessary to replace connecting rods in sets?
A: For optimal engine balance and performance, it is highly recommended to replace all connecting rods in the engine as a set, especially if the engine has experienced a failure or high mileage. However, this part can be purchased individually for service of a single cylinder. We recommend replacing the rod bolts and nuts with new ones during installation.

Q: What is the recommended installation procedure for this connecting rod?
A: Installation should be performed by a qualified diesel mechanic following the Isuzu service manual for the 6HK1 or 4HK1 engine. Key steps include: cleaning the bore surfaces, lubricating the bearings with assembly lube, torquing the rod bolts to the manufacturer’s specified angle or torque value (typically using a torque-angle method), and checking side clearance after installation. Always use new rod bolts and nuts.
