Question 42Motor Plants - 1st Asst/Chief

The correct answer is C) connecting rod bushing. The connecting rod bushing is the part labeled "G" in the illustration MO-0040. The connecting rod bushing is a crucial component that connects the connecting rod to the crankshaft, allowing the smooth rotation of the engine. It provides a bearing surface between the two parts, enabling the efficient transfer of power from the piston to the crankshaft. The other options are incorrect because: A) a connecting rod cap is a separate component that secures the connecting rod to the crankshaft, B) a bearing shell is a different part that supports the crankshaft, and D) a piston bushing is a separate component that guides the piston within the cylinder.
