  Q: How to replace the connecting rod bearing on Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

  A:

  In order to replace the connecting Rod Bearing, first, remove the Oil Pan and the sparking plugs from the serviced cylinders. Position the connecting rod to be serviced at bottom dead center (BDC) through rotating the Crankshaft, then remove the bolt for Oil Pump, the Oil Pump and Oil Pump driveshaft. Now unfasten the Crankshaft oil deflector nuts and Crankshaft oil deflector, after which remove the connecting rod cap nuts, connecting rod cap and the lower connecting Rod Bearing while retaining the original bearings with the original connecting rod and cap for reassembly. Now pull out the lower connecting Rod Bearing from the connecting rod cap; then insert the connecting rod bolt guide set (J5239) to the connecting rod and turn it while pushing up to locate the upper connecting Rod Bearing which also needs to be removed. Discharge the oil from the bearings and look for its condition, and check the bearing clearance. Use clean engine oil to lubricate the bearing surface before you install the upper, connecting Rod Bearing. Pull down the Piston along with connecting rod and upper connecting Rod Bearing with the help of connecting rod bolt guide set (J 5239) then remove it and fit lower connecting Rod Bearing to connecting rod cap. Mount the connecting rod cap which also has the connecting rod cap nuts are mounted and an additional 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.) of torque is applied before using the torque angle meter (J 45059) to turn the nuts by 75 degrees. Check binding by separating the connecting rod, use the prying joint right and left frequently sprucing up the connecting rod cap nuts as required, measure connecting rod side clearance. Mount the Crankshaft oil deflector and the nuts, tighten to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.), after that there is the Oil Pump driveshaft and the Oil Pump, and finally the Oil Pump bolt which will tighten to 25 nm (30 ft. Lbs.). Lastly, re-install and check for Spark Plugs and the Oil Pan with oil pressure and leaks.

  Q: What additional engine repair information can be found for the service and repair of the connecting rod bearing on Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

  A:

  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.
