How to Service a Rod Bearing on Buick Century?

To replace the connecting Rod Bearing, the Oil Pan, Oil Pump and the Crankshaft oil deflector are removed in the first place. Rotate the Crankshaft until the Piston and rod assembly to be maintained is at bottom dead center (BDC), making sure you mark the connecting rod and its cap with matchmarks or numbers for accuracy of reassembly. Take off the connecting rod nuts, the connecting rod cap, the lower connecting Rod Bearing, and do not forget to apply a thread protector to protect the Crankshaft journal. Next, install the connecting rod bolt guide set (J5239) allowing the Piston and connecting rod to be raised up the cylinder so to get to the upper connecting rod that is to be taken out next. Cleaning oil off the connecting rod bearings and Crankshaft connecting rod journal, inspect the connecting rod bearings, connecting rod cap, connecting rod and Crankshaft connecting rod journal. For installation, meet the connecting Rod Bearing's upper part, install the connecting rod and apply its inside surfaces with the new engine oil. By using the connecting rod bolt guide set (J5239), pull the Piston and rod assembly down to the Crankshaft and remove the guide set after which install the lower connecting Rod Bearing in the connecting rod cap, lubricate their inside surfaces with new engine oil as well. I would recheck the angle with electronic torque angle meter (J36660-A) hooked to the connecting rods and turn the nuts an additional 75 degrees while tightening to 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.) on the lower connecting rod nut and bearing. Measure the connecting rod clearance by loading all the connecting rod bearings into the engine, and tapping each of the connecting rods parallel to the crankpin to decay clearance, follow by measuring the side clearance between the connecting rod caps with the feeler gauge or dial indicator. Lastly, fit the Crankshaft oil deflector, Oil Pump, and Oil Pan.

What additional engine repair information can be found for the service and repair of the connecting rod bearing on Buick Regal?

For information on repairing and servicing bearing on connecting rods, additional engine repair directions are available elsewhere. When an internal engine component is not given a special service procedure, it shows that the manufacturer has not prepared one. To do engine overhaul, important steps in unit repair include service operations, machining, cleaning, inspection and fitting, including boring and honing the cylinder, fitting connecting rod with bearings, crankshaft with bearings and camshaft bearings, disassembling the connecting rod and Piston, cylinder head, valve-related components and Oil Pump, fitting in Piston and rings and fixing thread damage, as well as valve and seat grinding tasks found during Cylinder Head assembly. Chain, belt and gears are the main parts in timing components service.
