Lock goes to lock on the bearing cap.
NO! They have to be installed a certain way. If you have it on wrong it will actually be quite obvious. Keep in mind the bearing notch has to prevent the bearing from spinning in the same direction as the body of the connecting rod does. Install the cap so the bearing notch faces the same direction of rotation as the rod body does. The sides of the connecting rod are thrust surfaces as well. Install the cap backwards, and they most likely won't match up either.
The Same way you take out any other engine's crankshaft. You take out the engine, drain the oil on a stand, turn the engine upside down, remove the oil pan, then the connecting rod caps (mark which cap goes to each rod), push the pistons down towards the heads, remove the main caps, then pull out he crank...
Usually a connecting rod will break due to a cylinder being siezed. An example is if the valve seat on a head comes loose and falls into the combustion chamber it will block the piston from moving all the way to top dead center. If that happens then the connecting rod for that cylinder will break.
Easy way is to remove the cylinder head and the oil pan. Then unbolt the cap on the lower side of the connecting rod, then slide the piston out of the top of the engine where u removed the head. Its alot more work than most people think.
Just turn the engine over while you are pushing on the rod with your finger until the rod goes up in the block and starts to come back down then stop, and install fuel pump. Turn engine by hand. Put a ratchet and socket on the balancer bolt in the middle of the bottom pulley. Turn it that way.
In a reciprocating piston engine, the connecting rod or conrod connects the piston to the crank or crankshaft . Together with the crank , they form a simple mechanism that converts linear motion into rotating motion . Connecting rods may also convert rotating motion into linear motion . Historically , before the development of engines, they were first used in this way. As a connecting rod is rigid, it may transmit either a push or a pull and so the rod may rotate the crank through both halves of a revolution , i .e . piston pushing and piston pulling . Earlier mechanisms , such as chains , could only pull. In a few two- stroke engines, the connecting rod is only required to push .
Rotor Under Cap Spins: Clockwise
You must remove the air filter housing and hose connecting to the intake. Once that's out of the way, you'll see a cap with red writing on it. This cap also has the dip inside.
The areas that need to be lubricated are the moving parts: the connecting rod to wrist pin surface and the rings where they rub against the cylinder wall. Both get oil from the crankshaft through a very roundabout way. Oil is forced into grooves in the crankshaft main bearings through holes in the bearing shells. Holes in the crankshaft align with those grooves and deliver the oil through passages in the crankshaft to adjacent rod journals. As the crankshaft rotates those holes periodically line up with holes in the rod bearings and in turn with holes in the connecting rods. The connecting rods have internal passages that carry the oil to the wrist pins, where the oil is distributed to the oil control rings and is used by the wrist pins.
Turn the wheel all the way to the other side you're working on. Remove the nut the turn to end, remove that. Remove the tire rod endÊby twisting the rod end. Insert the new rod into the strip where you removed the last rod and screw it into about how tightÊthe last one was.
The white cap on the top twists off in what many people consider to be the "wrong" direction...you turn it to the right. There is a small arrow on the top of the cap that tells you which way to turn it. Then , when you screw the refill into the unit, you turn it to the left.
Counterclockwise.
