Minimizes downtime: Simple swapin replacement that gets equipment back into service quickly during repairs or overhauls. Durability: Manufactured to meet OEM quality standards so the engine operates reliably under normal service conditions. Product highlights Functionality: Transfers linear piston motion to rotational crankshaft motion; critical for engine timing and power transfer. Compatibility: Specifically for Kohler CH440 engines that use the OEMstyle connecting rod. Size and fit: Manufactured to OEM dimensions and tolerances to ensure a direct bolton fit without need for machining or alteration. Material and construction: Built to meet OEM material and strength standards appropriate for small engine service to resist normal operating stresses. Performance: Intended to restore factory operating characteristics when installed with proper bearings, fasteners, and torque settings. Suggested applications / use cases : a bent, worn, or damaged connecting rod after a piston seizure or bearing failure on a Kohler CH440powered pressure washer. Overhaul: Use during a CH440 engine rebuild on generators or lawn equipment to the engine to reliable, factorylike operation. Preventive maintenance: Install during routine engine refurbishment to eliminate an aging rod before failure and reduce the risk of secondary engine damage. Installation notes Designed for direct replacement with OEMequivalent fit. Follow manufacturer service manual for proper disassembly, bearing inspection, lubrication, and torque specifications. Inspect piston pin, crankshaft journal, bearings and fasteners; related wear items as recommended to ensure longterm reliability. This connecting rod is intended to match Kohler OEM CH440 specifications for a reliable, serviceable replacement that restores factory fit and function.
