Expert: Tom Adinolfi Date: 8/21/2008 Subject: Craftsman Connecting Rod Spec
Question QUESTION: I am working on a craftsman lawn tractor model 917-271-660 and it sounds like it is knocking especially when I engage the transmission. I took the engine apart and we measured the connecting rod after I torqued it to 144 inch pounds and we got 1.502. I would like to know if that is within specs. The number on the connecting rod is 692-419. He is going to measure the crank tomorro thank you.
ANSWER: With what you have given me I have no clue what engine make, model, type number or anything else, as my profile states. You must supply me with these for there are thousands of engines in circulation across the globe, and I'm not that good of a guesser.....Tom
