Measuring Rod Bushing Oil Clearance
A—Rod Caps
8. Mark rods, pistons, and caps to ensure correct
assembly in same location.
IMPORTANT: Keep bearing inserts with their
respective caps for rod and main
bearings.
9. Remove all rod caps (A) with bearings.
NOTE: Use PLASTIGAGE
to determine
bearing-to-journal oil clearance as directed by the
manufacturer. PLASTIGAGE
will determine
bearing-to-journal oil clearance, but will not
indicate the condition of either surface.
10. Measure rod bearing-to-journal oil clearance with
PLASTIGAGE
before removing piston and rod
assembly. Record measurements. (See INSPECT
AND MEASURE CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS,
later in this group.)
IMPORTANT: Hold on to piston to prevent piston
from dropping. Piston will drop once
piston rings have cleared cylinder liner
bore.
If liners are to be reused, be extremely
careful not to let connecting rod hit
liner bore when removing piston and
rod assembly.
11. Gently tap piston through top of cylinder block from
the bottom.
12. Remove remaining pistons and rods from engine.
