    NOTE:

    If the connecting rod bearings have been used in a running engine, you must replace them with NEW connecting rod bearings for reassembly.

  1. Clean the connecting rod and the connecting rod cap bearing bore with a lint-free cloth.
  2. Clean all the oil from behind the connecting rod bearing halves.
  3. Install NEW upper connecting rod bearings into position. Roll the bearing into position so that the lock tang engages the alignment slot. The bearing must fit flush in the connecting rod.
  4. Install the EN-46121  set into the connecting rod bolt holes.
