This document discusses the lifetime of connecting rods in MAN Diesel & Turbo four-stroke engines. Field experience shows that the maximum ovality value of connecting rod big end bearing bores is reached at around 100,000 operating hours. The document recommends replacing connecting rods at 100,000 hours or refurbishing them if the ovality value exceeds specified limits. Contact information is provided for technical support regarding connecting rod lifetime and maintenance.

Lifetime of
Occasion Connecting Rods
Our medium-speed engine types are successfully used
in ships and power plants worldwide. There are engines PrimeServ Customer Information
which have been in service as long as 25 years or more.
No. 344 / April 2015
Many of these engines have already reached more than
100,000 operating hours.
Concerns
During their operation, diesel engines are subjected to MAN Diesel & Turbo four-stroke engines:
certain stress which inevitably leads to aging and wear. V28/33D, L+V32/40, L+V32/40CD,
This also applies to the connection rods. L+V32/44CR, V35/44G, L+V40/45,
L+V40/54B, L+V52/55, L+V48/60,
Experience L+V48/60B, L+V51/60DF, L58/64

Field experience and measurements have shown that the Filing Advice
Assembly group / work card 030
maximum ovality value of the big end bearing bore is
reached at a component operating time of approximately
100,000 running hours.

Relative movements between the contact surface and


the bearing can either cause a plastic deformation of the
big end bearing bore directly, or the ovality value can be
exceeded due to fretting and several reworks according
to our PrimeServ Customer Information “Fretting at
Conrod Bearings” (CUS275).

Recommendation

Please note that the ovality measurments can only be taken with completely assembled and tightened
connecting rods (big end bearing body and conrod depending on engine type). If the maximum value is
exceeded, we recommend to refurbish the conrod in one of our PrimeServ workshops. Below please find
the maximal permitted values for ovality.

Max. operating
Engine types lifetime ovality
V28/33D, L+V32/40, L+V32/40CD, L+V32/44CR, V35/44G
L+V40/45, L40/54B, L+V48/60, L+V48/60B 0.04 mm
L52/55, L+V51/60DF, L58/64
