Connecting Rod Bearing Fitting

CONNECTING ROD BEARING - FITTING

Fit all rods on one bank until complete. Do not alternate from one bank to another, because when the rods are assembled to pistons correctly, they are not interchangeable from one bank to another.

The bearing caps are not interchangeable and should be marked at removal to insure correct assembly.

The bearing shells must be installed so that the tangs are in the machined grooves in the rods and caps.
