Connecting Rod Bearing

Connecting Rod Bearing








Measure the crankshaft pin diameter and confirm its classification from the following table. On a crankshaft supplied as a service part, identification marks of its pins are stamped at the positions shown in the illustration.





If the crankshaft pin outside diameter identification mark is "I," for example, select a bearing whose identification mark is "1."
If there is no identification color paint on the crankshaft, measure the pin outside diameter and select a bearing appropriate for the measured value.

Rod Bearing Cap Nuts and Bolts
Then tighten the nuts alternately to the specified torque to install the cap properly.
Tightening torque 20 ± 2 Nm (14 ± 1 ft. lbs.)





Make a paint mark on the head of each nut.
Make a paint mark on the bolt end at the position 90 to 94 degrees from the paint mark made on the nut in the direction of tightening the nut.

CAUTION:
^ If the nut is turned less than 90 degrees, proper fastening performance may not be achieved. Be careful to tighten the nut exactly 90 degrees.
^ If the nut is overtightened (exceeding 94 degrees), loosen the nut completely and then retighten it by repeating the tightening procedure from step 3.

Turn the nut 90 to 94 degrees and make sure that the paint marks on the nut and bolt are aligned.
