What are the steps involved in installing connecting rod bearings?

What will be an ideal response?


1. Install the new bearing inserts in the rod and cap and lubricate them.
2. Bearing spread keeps the bearings in the rod while the pistons are being installed. A good bearing that is going to be reused might have lost its spread. According to Federal-Mogul Corporation, bearings can be respread by placing the bearing on a hardwood surface with the parting face down and gently tapping the back with a soft-faced mallet.
3. Check the parting surface of the rod cap to see that it does not have any burrs or foreign material that might prevent proper mating when it is torqued to the connecting rod.
4. Be certain that the bearing locating lugs are aligned in the cap.
