Connecting Rod Bolt Nut - MJ14 x 1.5, Phosphate Coated
Detroit Diesel

This connecting rod bolt, treated with phosphate coating for enhanced corrosion resistance, plays a critical role in ensuring the structural integrity of the engine's connecting rods. Its precise MJS14 x 1.5 mm threading and 0.70-inch hex size facilitate secure fastening, allowing for reliable torque application during assembly. The 12-point nut design provides improved grip and torque transfer, reducing the risk of stripping or loosening under high-vibration conditions common in heavy-duty applications. The flat end width of 0.70 inches ensures proper seating and load distribution across the connecting rod, contributing to engine durability. Its steel construction guarantees high tensile strength, essential for withstanding the immense forces generated during engine operation. Properly torqued, this bolt maintains piston alignment and prevents catastrophic failure of the connecting assembly. For quality assurance, trusted sources like Source One Parts Center recommend this component for maintaining engine robustness and operational longevity in demanding environments.
