Rod Bearings

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Use Plastigage to check rod bearing clearance. If proper oil clearance cannot be obtained with standard bearings, try a combination of undersize bearings. DO NOT use any bearing combination other than listed. See UNDERSIZE MAIN & ROD BEARING COMBINATIONS table.
If use of bearing combinations does not bring clearance within specification, machine or replace crankshaft as necessary. Always replace bearings in pairs. See CRANKSHAFT, MAIN & CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
