Method for making connecting rods for internal combustion engines

摘要

A method of making a connecting rod for an internal combustion engine having a one-piece crankshaft construction generally consisting of positioning a first crankpin bushing segment having a connecting rod shank consisting of a reinforced resinous material mounted thereon, on a crankpin of the crankshaft, positioning a second crankpin bushing segment on the crankpin, and applying a reinforcing material and a resinous material about a periphery of the connecting rod shank and the second crankpin bushing segment to form an integral unit consisting of the crankpin bushing segments embedded in the connecting rod shank, attached to the crankpin.
