Abstract:
A connecting rod manufacturing method includes: forming, in an inner circumferential surface of a through-hole formed at an end of the connecting rod, a plurality of first holes as fracture start portions such that the first holes are arrayed in an axial direction of the through-hole and extend in a first direction; forming a plurality of second holes as the fracture start portions, each between adjacent ones of the first holes, such that the second holes are arrayed in the axial direction and extend in a second direction different from the first direction relative to the first holes; and fracture-splitting the end of the connecting rod into a rod part and a cap part using the fracture start portions as start points.

Claim (Index 4):
The connecting rod manufacturing method according to  claim 1 , wherein the first hole communicates with one second hole, located at one end of three of the second holes that are adjacent to one another, at ends opening in the inner circumferential surface, communicates with another second hole, located at the other end of the three second holes, at leading ends, and communicates with the other second hole, located between the one end and the other end of the three second holes, at intermediate portions.
