  Q: How to replace the rod bearing in an engine on Chevrolet Tracker?

  A: To remove the Piston, connecting rod, and bearing, start with the removal of the Cylinder Head from the cylinder block, the Oil Pan, and the oil pump strainer. With a ridge reamer, get rid of any ridge and carbon on the top of the cylinder bore to avoid damage on the Piston Ring lands. Mark the cylinder number on the pistons, on the connecting rods, and connecting Rod Bearing caps. Take off the twc nuts and the connecting Rod Bearing cap and place a piece of hose over connecting rod studs to prevent damage to the Crankshaft and cylinder wall with the Piston and connecting rod pulling out of the cylinder bore. Then break down and examine Piston and connecting rod assembly, followed by choosing a corresponding connecting Rod Bearing and Piston. Paint a thin layer of clean engine oil on the pistons, rings, cylinder walls along with the connecting rod bearings, and the crank pins. Attach a hose piece again over the connecting rod studs to avoid slinging while mounting. Make sure the arrow mark on the top side of the Piston is aimed at the Crankshaft pulley side. Use a j 8037 ring compressor (J 8037) for compressing the Piston rings and the installation of Piston and connecting rod into the cylinder bore. Tap the Piston head with hammer handle while keeping on pressing the j 8037 firmly against the top of the cylinder block until all Piston rings are seated in the cylinder bore. Demount the hose pieces from the bolt of the connecting rod and then mount the connecting Rod Bearing cap then secure the twc nuts, to tighten to 35nm (26 ft. Lb.). In conclusion, replace the engine Oil Pan and the Cylinder Head onto the cylinder block.
