Air Force Rascal Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Has anyone changed a connecting rod on their SC400..I hear that you can replace it by going thru the oil pan without taking the engine out of the car...has anyone done this..? Thanks for any help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzz30 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 if you do go through the bottom end you would need to take the crank out. these kinds of "in depth" repairs are easier if you just pull the motor. why do you want to take the rods out anyway?
