Any damage on a connecting rod means it must be replaced!!!
On 3.7-liter engines, the oil groove on the connecting rods typically faces the crankshaft. This orientation ensures proper oil flow for lubrication, allowing oil to be drawn from the crankshaft and distributed to the connecting rod bearings during engine operation. Always consult the specific engine manual for precise installation guidelines.
A gudgeon is a small freshwater fish. A gudgeon pin is a small rod which connects the piston to the connecting rod in an internal combustion engine (often shortened to "gudgeon").
Rod bearing (short for connecting rod bearing) Is the bearing where the connecting rod is attached to the rotating crankshaft.
Connecting rod journals are the part of the crankshaft where the connecting rods attach to. There is one rod journal for each piston/connecting rod in the engine. These journals have a machined surface so the connecting rod bearings can move smoothly as the crankshaft rotates.

A forked connecting rod is where two connecting rods and there pistons are connected to one crankshaft journal as is the case of the old side valve ford v 8 engine but i believe this practice is still used to-day----------------jim
how to replace the rod bearings in a 1996 saturn 1.9 still in the car
The connecting rod has a "wrist pin" which goes through the side of the piston and through the connecting rod. It is one of the most critical fit parts of an engine.The connecting rod or con rod connects the piston to the crank or crankshaft!!!

what is the main and connecting rod for a gmc 2.2l
A piston rod connects the piston to the crankshaft in an engine, transmitting the force from the expanding gas to the crankshaft to generate motion. A connecting rod connects the piston to the crankshaft, converting the linear motion of the piston into rotational motion to drive the crankshaft. In summary, the piston rod is part of the piston assembly, while the connecting rod is part of the crankshaft assembly in an engine.
The piston rod is more usually called the con rod or connecting rod. It is connected at the top end to the piston with what is called a wrist pin. (The wrist pin is a cylinder of steel that slides through the side of the piston and through the top hole in the connecting rod.) At the bottom end the connecting rod mates up to the crankshaft. There is what is called a rod cap that goes on the bottom of the connecting rod to hold that rod onto the journal of the crankshaft. The connecting rod's purpose is to transfer downward and upward thrust between the piston and crank. The combustion of fuel drives the piston down to the crankshaft were it is converted to rotary force which drives your wheels. The wrist pin, is called a piston pin or gudgeon pin in the UK. The hole in the con-rod is commonly called the small or little end, and the other end where the cap holds it to the crankshaft is the big end.
