Hi,

I searched, seriously but the search function sucks, it kept telling me i was searching for a stopword and "replace bearing" isn't a stopword. Anyway, I have rod knock so I immediately parked the car before i messed up the crankshaft. A friend of mine, VW dude, told me when that happened to him he just replaced the rod bearings and was lucky enough for that to fix it and him not have to rebuild. I'm hoping this will be the case for me, now a long time ago a hatch i bought came with a bunch of misc. stuff.. including connecting rod bearings, thrust washers, and main bearings all new in their box because he also gave me a b18a1 short block because he had no space for it anymore. so I was wondering does anyone how to replace rod bearings? im not trying to take the motor out of the car.

thanks

 

You are really going to need a manual for this job.
There are clearances to measure to get it right as well as torque numbers and procedure to follow.
Don't bother with a Haynes/Chilton waste of paper - get a genuine Honda Service Manual/Helms.

 

What engine is it? If it's a stock D-series, then just bolt in some off-the-shelf bearings, use some 20w50 and go.

ive used haynes manuels for all my d series rebuilds.. never had a problem..the clearences and torque specs r the same..

 

google the honda service manual for the same car that has that motor stock. then print the pages you need. there are clearances you definatly want to measure to make sure you are in proper spec. sometimes the haynes manuals are good. but I would use a honda manual for this problem. sorry but I hope that helps.

 

thanks for the input ppl
