Installation Notes
Installation of internal engine components should be performed by a qualified marine mechanic. Always consult your engine's official service manual for detailed procedures, safety precautions, and torque specifications.
- Ensure the engine is off, cool, and disconnected from power.
- Drain the engine oil completely and remove the oil pan to access the crankcase.
- Carefully remove the old bearing shells from the connecting rod and cap, noting their orientation.
- Thoroughly clean all mating surfaces of the rod, cap, and crankshaft journal.
- Apply a quality assembly lube to the new bearing shells before installation.
- Install the new bearings, ensuring locking tabs seat correctly in their notches.
- Reinstall the connecting rod cap and tighten bolts to the manufacturer-specified torque value and sequence.
- After all bearings are replaced, reinstall the oil pan with a new gasket.
- Refill the engine with the manufacturer-recommended grade and quantity of new oil.
- Before starting, prime the oil system to ensure immediate lubrication.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this bearing kit is correct for my engine?
Verify your engine model is listed in the compatibility chart. This is a standard size kit, so it is only suitable for crankshafts that have not been machined to a smaller diameter. If your crankshaft has been ground, you will need corresponding "oversized" bearings.
What are the symptoms of failing connecting rod bearings?
A primary symptom is a rhythmic knocking or tapping sound from the engine that increases with RPM, commonly known as "rod knock." Other indicators include low oil pressure readings and the presence of metallic particles in the engine oil and filter.
What is the difference between standard and oversized bearings?
"Standard" (STD) bearings are for crankshafts with original, factory-spec journal dimensions. "Oversized" bearings (e.g., 0.10, 0.20) are used after a crankshaft has been machined, requiring a thicker bearing to maintain proper oil clearance. This kit contains standard size bearings only.
