Rod Bearings

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2001 Mazda Millenia and 2001 Mazda 626. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ensure connecting rod and connecting rod cap are marked with matching cylinder number for reassembly reference. Piston must be installed so front mark ("R" or "L") is toward timing belt end of engine. See Figure.
  2. Measure connecting rod cap bolt length. Measurement is taken from contact surface of bolt head to tip of bolt shank. Replace bolt if measurement exceeds 1.889" (48.00 mm). Coat connecting rod bolt threads with engine oil before tightening to specification. Ensure bearing oil clearance and connecting rod side play are within specification. See CRANKSHAFT, MAIN & CONNECTING ROD BEARING  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
