CATERPILLAR-3204-3208-CONROD-BUSH-TAPERED

9N5082 is a tapered connecting rod bush for Caterpillar's 3204 and 3208 engines, machined with a bore that narrows slightly along its length rather than running perfectly parallel. The taper is specified to match a corresponding taper on the piston pin used in these engines, and fitting a straight-bore bush in place of this tapered one — even if it superficially seems to fit — would leave the pin poorly supported along part of its length.
