Rod Bearings

  1. Using Plastigage, measure rod bearing oil clearance. Tighten bearing cap to 23 ft. lbs. (32 N.m).
  2. If oil clearance is incorrect, install a new bearing set (same color code) and recheck oil clearance. DO NOT shim or file cap to adjust oil clearance.
  3. If oil clearance is still incorrect, try next larger or smaller bearing. Measure oil clearance once more. If proper oil clearance cannot be obtained by using larger or smaller bearings, replace crankshaft and repeat procedure.
NOTE: A number indicating connecting rod bore is stamped on side of each connecting rod and cap. Connecting rod journal diameter codes (letters) are stamped on crankshaft counterweight pads. See Fig 1 . Use both codes when ordering replacement bearings.
