Rod Bearings

  1. Inspect journals for wear, taper and out-of-round. If specifications are exceeded, grind journals to undersize or replace crankshaft. See CRANKSHAFT, MAIN & CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
  2. Inspect bearing shells for signs of fusion, pitting, burning or flaking. Observe contact pattern. Standard bearings are unmarked. Undersize bearings are stamped US025 on back of bearing to indicate .010" (.25 mm) undersize.
  3. Check bearing clearance using Plastigage. See CRANKSHAFT, MAIN & CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS  table. Standard connecting rod side play is .0039-.0078" (.099-.198 mm), with a service limit of .0138" (.351 mm).
  4. To install, reverse removal procedure. Tighten rod nuts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
