CONNECTING RODS (1)   CORRECTION FOR BENDING OR TWISTING (Parallel alignment) Inspect  the  thrust  surfaces  (both  ends)  and  the  inner portion  of  the  large  end  (crankshaft  end)  for  wear    or damage.  and  correct  or replace.  as required.  Check for    bending    or    twisting    (parallel    alignment)    using    a connecting rod alignment tool.  If bent or twisted (out  of parallel  alignment)  beyond  the  service  limit.    but  within repair   limit,   correct   with   a   press.      If   bent   or   twisted beyond repair limit.  replace with a new connecting rod.
