The connecting rod links the piston to the crankshaft, transferring combustion force into rotational motion. This part is listed as a 'ROD CORE,' meaning it is a used or rebuildable component intended to be reconditioned (machined, new bushings installed) rather than a brand-new assembly. It is typically replaced during a major engine overhaul to restore proper bearing clearance and prevent catastrophic engine failure.
