Measuring Connecting Rod Side Bearing

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2003 GMC Yukon XL, 2003 GMC Sierra, 2003 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2003 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2003 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Install the Magnetic Based Dial Indicator, or equivalent to the cylinder block, with the dial indicator plunger against the side of the pair of connecting rods.
  2. With connecting rods pushed forward, zero the dial indicator. Firmly move the pair of connecting rods side to side and read the measurement on dial indicator. An optional method is to insert a feeler gauge between the connecting rod caps and measure connecting rod side clearance. See CRANKSHAFT  table.
