Measuring Connecting Rod Bearing Side Clearance
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 GMC Sierra and 2010 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Insert a feeler gauge between the connecting rod caps and measure the connecting rod side clearance. The proper connecting rod side clearance specification is 0.15-0.44 mm (0.006-0.017 in).
- Connecting rod side clearances may also be measured with a dial indicator set.
