Rod Bearings

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Plymouth Voyager, 1995 Dodge Dakota, and 1995 Dodge Caravan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Before installing connecting rod bearings, hold a straightedge across connecting rod bolt threads. Ensure threads contact straightedge in all areas. If threads fail to contact straightedge, rod bolts are stretched and must be replaced.
  2. Lightly coat rod bolts with engine oil before installing nuts. Ensure connecting rod is installed so oiling hole on connecting rod faces toward front (timing belt end) of engine. See Figure.
  3. Tighten connecting rod nuts to specification. See the TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Ensure bearing oil clearance and side play are within specification. See CRANKSHAFT, MAIN & CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS and CONNECTING RODS tables under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS .
