  Bolt Connecting Rod

• Description:

  This is a genuine Ford engine connecting rod bolt, catalogued by Ford under base number 6214 and applied across multiple Ford and Lincoln vehicles from 2011 through 2021. The connecting rod bolt clamps the rod cap to the connecting rod, holding the big-end bearing securely around its crankshaft journal so the rotating assembly stays true under combustion load and high engine speed. It is a torque-to-yield, single-use fastener that stretches by design when torqued to its final angle, so a new bolt must be installed at every rod-cap removal and each rod's bolts should be renewed together as a matched pair. Reusing a torque-to-yield rod bolt is unsafe and can lead to loss of clamp load, a spun or knocking rod bearing, or catastrophic engine failure. Buyers reach for this part during a rebuild, rod bearing replacement, or crankshaft service, and when diagnosing symptoms such as deep rod knock, low oil pressure, or bearing debris in the oil. Follow the Ford torque-plus-angle procedure and lubricate the threads and underhead as specified. Confirm the correct bolt against the engine service manual for your specific application before assembly to protect the rotating assembly.
