Connecting rod assembly for an internal combustion engine

A method of assembling a connecting rod assembly in an internal combustion engine, said method comprising the steps of:

• providing a connecting rod having a yoke at an end thereof, said yoke including a semi-circular bearing portion and a pair of yoke shoulders, said yoke further including at least two yoke bolt holes associated with each said yoke shoulder, each said yoke bolt hole opening at a respective said yoke shoulder;
• providing a cap including a semi-circular bearing portion and a pair of capshoulders, said cap further including at least two bolt holes associated with each said cap shoulder, each said bolt hole opening at a respective said cap shoulder;
• positioning said cap adjacent said connecting rod such that each said cap bolt hole is substantially coaxially aligned with a respective said yoke bolt hole to define a mating pair of bolt holes;
• placing each of a plurality of bolts in a respective said mating pair of bolt holes, each said bolt having a head with a non-circular cross section and a riser below said head;
• threading a nut on an end of each said bolt adjacent said cap shoulder;
• and
• preventing unlimited rotation of each said bolt in said corresponding mating pair of bolt holes by configuring each said bolt head to abut against an adjacent said bolt head.
