Rod Bearings

  1. Mark cylinder number on bearing caps for reassembly reference. Rods and caps are match-marked with a color code at the factory. If connecting rod side clearance exceeds specification, replace connecting rod and/or crankshaft as necessary. See CONNECTING RODS  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
  2. If connecting rod bearing oil clearance exceeds specification, replace bearings. See CRANKSHAFT, MAIN & CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS. If necessary, grind journals or replace crankshaft. DO NOT remove more than .010" (.25 mm) of metal from journals. Bearings are available in .010" (.25 mm) undersize.
