At RA Power Solutions, we specialize in the repair, inspection, and resizing of marine engine connecting rods. Our team is equipped with state-of-the-art tools and years of hands-on experience to restore connecting rods to precise manufacturer specifications—whether at our workshop or directly on board your vessel.

Connecting Rod Inspection and Repair Process

Our standard inspection and reconditioning procedures include:

• Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) for crack detection and material integrity verification.
• Checking the straightness of connecting rods using a precision DRDO-equipped machine, both before and after repair.
• The process involves the machining and lapping of damaged serrations to ensure their proper fitment.
• The process involves boring and grinding both the big-end and small-end bores to rectify any taper and ovality.
• Final Dimension Check—all tolerances are maintained as per the engine manufacturer’s specifications.

Due to continuous engine operation, connecting rods often develop taper, ovality, and misalignment. Our proven procedures ensure each reconditioned connecting rod meets OEM accuracy standards for long-term performance.
