ABSTRACT:
A connecting rod assembly comprising a connecting rod having a rod lug, a connecting rod cap having a cap lug with the rod lug having a straight bore therein which coaxially aligns with a straight bore in said cap lug when the cap lug engages the rod lug. The connecting rod assembly further includes a bolt comprising a shank having an enlarged portion and a pilot portion. The enlarged portion has a cross section larger than each of the bores prior to insertion therein. The enlarged portion also has a tapered part, and is constructed of a sufficiently deformable material to enable insertion of said enlarged portion into each of the bores and fricitional retainment of the enlarged portion therein. The enlarged portion has a length sized so that it extends through a sufficient axial portion of each of the bores to hold the rod and cap lugs in abutting relation wherein the tapered part constitutes the entire part of the enlarged portion extending into one of the bores. The tapered part has a length sized to enable its ready disengagement from the one of the bores.
