- Thoroughly clean the bearing saddles in the rod and cap, ensuring they are free of oil, debris, and burrs.
- Apply a generous layer of assembly lube to the new bearing shells.
- Install the new bearing shells, ensuring the locking tabs seat correctly in their notches.
- Re-install the connecting rod cap and tighten the bolts to the torque specifications recommended by the engine manufacturer.
- After installation, check that the crankshaft still rotates freely.
- Once all necessary bearings are replaced, reinstall the oil pan with a new gasket.
- Refill the engine with the correct grade and amount of oil, reconnect the battery, and start the engine to check for proper oil pressure and listen for any unusual noises.
