Hi, I'm am going to begin the process of replacing the piston rings in my 2003 mazda protege5 and I was wondering what the torque of the piston rod bolts are. Does anyone know them or know where to get them? I have the workshop manual but it doesn't give me this information.

Also

I was wondering if I should replace the rod barrings while I was at it or if I should just leave them alone???

Any information would be a great help!

Thanks!

 

So as a final resort I stoped into a Mazda dealership for the information. The Parts counter told me to go to the service desk and then the service desk told me to go to the parts counter. When I told him that I was already there he told me to google it.

Let me say that again " the guy from Mazda told me to google it!!!'

Any thoughts?
