A connecting rod consists of a small end, attached to the piston by a wrist pin, and a big end, which is split so it can be attached to the crankshaft throw, separated by the beam. Today most connecting rods are forged from steel or cast from powder metal. The wrist pin can be a press fit in the rod small end bore, or it can be “fully floating” and free to turn. The bottom part of the split big end bore is called the rod cap. The bore is machined to accept plain bearings that ride on the crank journal on a thin film of pressurized oil. The cap is retained by bolts that thread into the rod or by bolts and nuts.
