Modifications in conrod, serations in the bottom end?

1.bottom end bering housing and rod are made in three piece or two piece,so lower end of con rod has a wide angled(45) wedge form.rather than a flat end after considering various experiments.this gave a stiffer
bearing housing and reduced stress raisers and reduced fatigue failure.it also help in easy overhauling procedure of piston
2. V slotted serrations with the slots being radius-ed.the serrations are better at taking shear loads and prevent it transferring to the keep bolts. they reduce fretting of mating surfaces

Why atomisation test should not be done in slide type fuel valves

Since very small needle lift is obtained in the test equipment result in an unequal pressure distribution in the cut off shaft resulting in a hard contact in a small area along with high frequency oscillations, low lubricity of test oil will increase the chance of seizure. Full lift and high lubricity of heavy oil eliminates this risk  of seizure during normal operation.( Always open and clean slide type valves before testing as cold sticky heavy oil along with small clearances can cause restriction in the movement of the spindle).
