Product Overview
The connecting rod links the piston to the crankshaft and carries high alternating combustion and inertia loads. Rod replacement is normally part of an internal engine repair following bearing damage, rod deformation, piston failure or a major overhaul.
The exact-title product is consistently listed for the Caterpillar 3046 engine family in D5C/D5G/933 equipment. Internal engine parts should be matched by engine arrangement/serial number and measured during assembly rather than selected only from the machine model.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can a connecting rod be installed without measuring clearances?
A: No. Engine-rebuild procedures require crank journal, bearing, rod bore and fastener checks to confirm proper clearances.
Q: Why use the engine serial/arrangement number?
A: Internal parts can change within the same machine model and engine family.
Confirm the Caterpillar 3046 engine serial/arrangement and rod specification before purchase.
