SUMMARY
In an internal combustion engine that uses reciprocating pistons, the piston is connected to the crank or crankshaft by a connecting rod. This includes the elimination of stress risers through the use of techniques such as grinding the edges of the rod to a smooth radius, shot peening to induce compressive surface stresses (to prevent crack initiation), balancing all connecting rod/piston assemblies to the same weight, and Magnaflux to reveal otherwise invisible small cracks that would cause the rod to fail under stress. This force typically causes the cylinder to wear into an . . .
