Typical example
1. Check the clearance between the connecting rod
bearing and the connecting rod bearing journal of
the crankshaft. Install the connecting rod bearings
dry when the clearance checks are made. Refer to
Disassembly and Assembly, “Bearing Clearance
- Check” for information on bearing clearance
checks.
2. Clean the bearing surface of the connecting rod
(1) and the connecting rod cap (5). Ensure that the
number (6) on the connecting rod cap (5) aligns
with the number (6) on the connecting rod (1).
3. Clean the upper connecting rod bearing (3) and
lubricate the bearing face with clean engine oil.
4. Clean the lower connecting rod bearing (3) and
lubricate the bearing face with clean engine oil.
Note: Align the tabs on the back of the connecting rod
bearings (3) with the tab grooves in the connecting
rod (1) and the tab grooves on the connecting rod
cap (5).
5. Install the upper connecting rod bearing (3) to the
connecting rod (1).
6. Position the connecting rod (1) against the
crankshaft.
7. Install the lower connecting rod bearing (3) in the
connecting rod cap (5).
8. Install the connecting rod cap (5) in position on
the connecting rod (1) and install the nuts (4) to
the connecting rod bolts (2). Refer to Disassembly
and Assembly, “Pistons and Connecting Rods -
Install” for the correct torque of the connecting rod
nuts (4).
Note: The identification marks must face the right
hand side of the
engine for the correct installation.
9. Repeat Steps 2 through 8 for the installation of the
remaining con
necting rod bearings.
End By:
