Connecting Rod Bolt for the Rover V8 EFI petrol engine, part of the connecting rod assembly in the engine bottom end.

The bolt clamps the connecting rod cap to the big-end of the rod, retaining the assembly around its crankshaft journal. Correct tightening to specification is critical, as the fastener carries the reciprocating load of the piston and rod.

Frequently asked questions

What does the connecting rod bolt do on the Rover V8?

The connecting rod bolt clamps the con rod cap to the big-end of the rod on the Rover V8 petrol engine, holding the assembly around its crankshaft journal. It carries the full reciprocating load of the piston and rod, so correct tightening to the workshop manual specification is critical.

How many connecting rod bolts does a Rover V8 need?

A Rover V8 uses two connecting rod bolts per rod across its eight cylinders, so a full engine rebuild typically needs sixteen. They're sold individually, so order the quantity your job requires and keep them as matched pairs per rod.

Can connecting rod bolts be reused on a V8 rebuild?

Connecting rod bolts are highly stressed fasteners that are typically replaced rather than reused during a bottom-end rebuild on the Rover V8. Reusing a stretched bolt risks big-end failure. Fit new bolts as a set when rebuilding, and torque them to the manual specification.
