FAQ

Q1: Is this connecting rod a direct fit for my Cummins QSK23 engine?
A1: Yes, this OEM-spec rod (4095488/4096475) is a direct replacement. However, we recommend checking the rod’s weight class and your engine’s serial number to ensure it matches the original assembly specifications for optimal balance.

Q2: What is the recommended installation procedure for this connecting rod?
A2: Installation must follow the Cummins service manual. Key steps include: cleaning the rod bore, applying clean engine oil to the bearings, torquing the cap bolts to the specified angle-tightening procedure, and verifying the side clearance. We strongly advise using new bolts as they are torque-to-yield.

Q3: How should I inspect this connecting rod before installation?
A3: Before installation, visually inspect the rod for shipping damage. Check the large and small end bores for any scoring or out-of-roundness. The fracture-split cap interface must be clean and free of debris. It is also good practice to verify the rod is straight using a connecting rod aligner.
