6. Remove the bearing (5) from the rod cap.

7. Push the connecting rods (6) away from crankshaft.


8. Remove the upper half of bearings from the connecting rods.

9. Install the upper half of new rod bearings in the connecting rods. Put clean SAE 30 engine oil on the bearings and crankshaft Journal. Pull the
connecting rods with bearing into position on crankshaft.

NOTE: Be sure the tab on back of bearing fits in tab groove (slot) in connecting rod.

10. Install lower half of new bearings in caps. Put clean SAE 30 engine oil on bearings.

NOTE: Be sure the tab on back of bearing fits in tab groove (slot) of cap.

11. Check the bearing clearance with wire (A). Install bearing cap on connecting rod. Put clean SAE 30 engine oil on threads of rod bolts. Install the
rod bolts. Tighten the rod bolts first to a torque of 40 ± 4 lb. ft. (55 ± 5 N·m). Put a mark on bolt heads and bearing caps. Tighten the bolts again
120° from the mark.

TYPICAL EXAMPLE
12. Remove the cap. Measure thickness of the wire. The clearance between a new rod bearing and crankshaft Journal must be .0031 to .0073 in.
(0.079 to 0.185 mm). The maximum permissible clearance is .012 in. (0.30 mm).

13. Put the caps in position on the connecting rods and install the nuts. Tighten the nuts to a torque of 40 ± 4 lb. ft. (55 ± 5 N·m). Put a mark on the
bolt heads and bearing caps then tighten the bolts 120° more.

NOTE: Locks and cotter pins are not necessary with this method to tighten the bolts, even though the bolt has a hole.

14. Install the inspection covers with new gaskets.

15. Install the plate and wiring harness for pre-lubrication oil pump and motor (if so equipped). Install the prelubrication oil pump and motor with a
hoist. Weight is 105 lb. (47.3 kg)
