CONROD-CRANK PIN BEARING SELECTION
• Loosen the bearing cap nuts, and tap the bolt end lightly with
plastic hammer to remove bearing cap.
• Remove the rods, and mark them to identify the cylinder
position.
• Inspect the bearing surfaces for any sign of fusion, pitting,
burn, or flaws. If any, replace them with a specified set of
bearings.
