<p>Connecting rods are disclosed. One of the connecting rods has a shank, a cap, and means for fastening the cap and shank. The shank includes a piston pin end defining a piston pin bearing, two rod components fixedly coupled to the piston pin end, and a crank pin end portion fixedly coupled to the rod components and defining a first crank pin bearing segment. The rod components are spaced apart so that an aperture is defined between the rod components. The cap forms a second crank pin end portion and defines a second crank pin bearing segment. Another connecting rod has two halves that, when assembled, include a piston pin end with a piston pin bearing, a crank pin end with a crank pin bearing, and two rods that couple the two ends and define an interior aperture.</p> |
