Connecting Rod Bearings

  1. Prior to disassembly, ensure connecting rod bearing caps are marked for reassembly in their original positions. Also, check connecting rod side play.
  2. When using Plastigage method to check bearing clearances, torque bearing caps to 23 ft. lbs. (32 N.m) for 1.8L engines; 21 ft. lbs. (29 N.m) for all others. Ensure oil film is wiped from surfaces to be checked.
  3. A code is stamped on each connecting rod and cap, indicating bore size of rod's big end. Crankshaft rod journals size codes are stamped on crankshaft counterweight pads. See Figure . Use both codes to obtain correct replacement bearings.
