Connecting Rod And Flywheel Fastener Replacement On
All AMC Alliance And Encore Engines
American Motors Corporation advises AERA members that connecting
rod bolts and nuts used in its Renault engines (found in the
Alliance and Encore models) are not to be reused. American
Motors also advise that the flywheel, or driveplate, bolts should
not be reused either.
The engines affected by this warning are the C2J, C3J, F3N, 843,
A7L, J8S, and the J7T.
The advisement was issued because the connecting rod and flywheel
bolts in these engines are a torque to yield design that must not
be reused because of the bolt's stretching characteristics.
Erroneous torque values and in-service bolt breakage may result
from reusing a torque to yield bolt.
