Connecting Rod Bearings
Clearance
Remove the connecting rod cap and bearing half
Clean the crankshaft rod iournal and bearing half
with a clean shop towel.
Place plastigage across the rod journal.
Reinstall the bearing half and cap, and torque the nuts.

lf the plastigage measures too wide or too narrow'
remove the upper half of the bearing, install a new,
complete bearing with the same color code (select
the color as shown in the right column), and
recheck the clearance.
CAUTION: Do not lile, shim, or scrape the bearings
or the caps to adiust clgarance.
lf the plastigage shows the clearance is still incorrect.
try the next larger or smaller bearing (the color listed
above or below that one), and check clearance again.
NOTE: lf the Droper clearance cannot be obtained
by using the appropriate larger or smaller bearings,
replace the crankshaft and start over.

Each rod falls into one of four tolerance ranges {from O to+ 0.024 mm (0 to + 0.0009 in), in 0.006 mm (0.0002 in)increments) depending on the size of its big end bore. lt,sthen stamped with a number {1, 2,3, or 4) indicating therange.
You may find any combination ot l, 2, 3, or 4 in any
engrne.
Normal Eore Size: 48.0 mm (1.89 in)
NOTE:
o Reference numbers are for big end bore size and doNOT indicate the position of the rod in the engine.. Inspect connecting rod for cracks and heat damage.

Installation
1. Use a hydraulic press for installation.
. When pressing the pin in or out, be sure you posi
tion the recessed flat on the piston against the lugson the base attachment.

3. Reinstall the drain bolt with a new washer. and rbfill
the engine with the recommended oil.
NOTE: Under normal conditions, the oil filter should be
replaced at every other oil change Under severe condi-
tions, the oilfilter should be replaced at each oil change'
The numbers in the middle of the API Service label tell
you the oil's SAE viscosity or weight Select the oil for
vour car according to this chart:
30 20 -10 010 20 30 4OoC
An oil with a viscosity of 5W - 30 is preferred for
improved tuel economy and year-round protection in the
car. You may use a 10W - 30 oil if the climate in your area
is limited to the temperature range shown on the chart'
