OK, so I'm fairly mechanical and my JD 2640 engine needs new sleeves and pistons, so I decided to do it myself. Partly because I just wanted to do it for the challenge.
So today I start to remove the rod caps and bearings, and lo and behold, the rod cap bolts are not regular hex shape. They are some sort of star shape. So, I know this must be a newbie question, but.......
......what's the deal with the star shaped bolts? What exact socket style do I need? The main bearing caps are regular hex bolts, but the rod caps are star shaped.
