redbaron1930 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I am rebuilding the engine on my 1916 Buick D-45 and would like to try and locate another connecting rod. One of mine has stripped threads on the wrist pin pinch bolt threads.I have rods for a 1917 but they are subtly different and won't work in this application. If anyone knows where I might locate another it would be greatly appreciated as is all help from this forum. Thanks Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Barrett Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I have repaired rods like this with helicoils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately my 1917 rods must be the later version, If my memory serves me the engine number was in the 220 thousands range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
