1. Clean the bearing surface of connecting rod and connecting rod cap. 2. Clean upper connecting rod bearing and lubricate the bearing face with clean engine oil. 3. Clean lower connecting rod bearing and lubricate the bearing face with clean engine oil. NOTE: Align the tabs on the connecting rod bearingswith the tab grooves in the connecting rod. 4. Install upper connecting rod bearing in connecting rod. 5. Pull the connecting rod into position against thecrankshaft. The connecting rod may need to be rotated in order to prevent contact with the piston cooling jet. 6. Install lower connecting rod bearing in connecting rod cap. 7. Install bearing cap in position on connecting rod. Ensure that the identification numbers are stamped on the same side. 8. If you have Type A connecting rods, install two bolts and two nuts. If you have Type B connecting rods, install two bolts. The torque is very important. It's probably 40 ft pounds plus 1/4 turn.
9. Repeat Steps 1 through 8 for the remaining connecting rod bearings.
This has several twists and turns and would require several hours typing to explain properly.

In general, this job would be best done with the engine removed from vehicle. Once the engine is removed, mount the engine on an engine stand and diassemble the front and lower half of engine until the crankshaft is exposed. Once the crankshaft is removed, have it inspected at a qualified machine shop to determine if it needs to be reground or just polished. Replace crankshaft with new bearings of correct dimensions. Going this deep into the engine, you may want to consider rebuilding the complete engine. A shop manual for that vehicle would be a must if you intend on tackling this job your self. A complete set of tools and at least some knowledge about rebuilding an engine would be necessary otherwise your time and money would be wasted.

What type of oil are connecting rod bearings lubricated by?
Whatever type of motor oil you put in the engine, will lubricate the rod bearings along with all the other bearings and moving parts.
Do the connecting rod caps on a Chevy 350 need to be installed in a certain order of direction?
Yes, the rod caps must be installed on the same rod and in the same orientation.
What is a rod bearing?
Rod bearing (short for connecting rod bearing) Is the bearing where the connecting rod is attached to the rotating crankshaft.
Can you replace the rod bearings without removing the crank?
In most engines, yes only if the crank is not damaged and measures correctly.
What type of bearing is most commonly used to support the crankshaft?
Main bearings are between crankshaft and main journals (engine block), rod bearings are between connecting rods and crankshaft and thrust bearings ensure crankshaft does not slide horizantally between journals they hold crank in place.
Trying to replace the engine rod bearings on a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica where are they located?
The rod bearings are between the connecting rod and the crankshaft.
What is the torque sequence for rod bearings for a Saturn 1.9 sohc?
how to replace the rod bearings in a 1996 saturn 1.9 still in the car
What bearings are stocked in standard under size?
Main bearings and connecting rod bearings.
Do connecting rod bearings have to sit completely flush with the connecting rods?
yes
What prevents the connecting rod bearings and main bearings from rotating in their bores?
They are a press fit
What Parts in an engine?
piston pin, piston rings, side bearings, connecting rod bearings
What is a rod journal?
Connecting rod journals are the part of the crankshaft where the connecting rods attach to. There is one rod journal for each piston/connecting rod in the engine. These journals have a machined surface so the connecting rod bearings can move smoothly as the crankshaft rotates.
What type of oil are connecting rod bearings lubricated by?
Whatever type of motor oil you put in the engine, will lubricate the rod bearings along with all the other bearings and moving parts.
How much are bearings for a s10?
Wheel bearings, main bearings, connecting rod bearings, cam bearings, axle bearings, carrier bearings, pinion bearings and so on, need to be more specific.
How do you change a bent rod in a 1997 Blazer?
if you meant a cylinder rod then you must take off the oil pan gasket and remove the oil connecting rod cap bearings to the cylinder rod- they cylinder must be removed from the top of the engine- to do this you must remove the cylinder head- you must use a ridge reamer to clean the ridge then remove the cylinder and rod from the engine - there is usually a reason the rod is bad- check bottom pan for damage to the bearings and check the cylinder for scoring or damamge- replace any bearings or connecting rods that are out of spec by using a plasigate you can check lower bearings and cap bearings check specs on piston rings and cylinder walls
What will happen you use standard connecting rod bearings on a shaved crankshaft?
You end up with a sloppy fit between the bearings and the crankshaft.
