What else can I help you with?
What is a thrown rod?
it is a connecting rod that has seized on the crank / broke and went thru the block
What Would Happen if all oil exhausted?
Usually one of the rod bearings seizes to the crank, destroying it and the crank journal. If the engine is running hard, it can seize and explode, sending chunks of the rod and crank out the side of the engine. It is usually the rod that is furthest from the oil pump. In a Geo Metro, this will be cyl 3. -Carl
How do you get the spare tire on a 2000 Ford Ranger?
If the question is "How can I remove the spare tire from under the truck bed of my Ford Ranger?" , on my Ranger if you lower the tail gate you will see a hole in the middle of the bed. Insert the tire crank handle from the tire jack into the hole and crank away and the tire will unwind from a winch.
Can you replace the rod bearings without removing the crank?
In most engines, yes only if the crank is not damaged and measures correctly.
What is the function of a con rod?
Connects piston to crank serving as an arm.
What is crank journal?
on a crankshaft you have a crank journal (more commonly called a main journal) and a rod journal. the main journals of the crankshaft are where and how the crankshaft is held in the block. the rod journals are where your connecting rods are attached to.
Connecting rods connect the piston to what?
The connecting rod has a "wrist pin" which goes through the side of the piston and through the connecting rod. It is one of the most critical fit parts of an engine.The connecting rod or con rod connects the piston to the crank or crankshaft!!!
What are connecting rods?
connecting rod is provided between crank and the piston,which converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into rotary motion of the crank.
Why are crankshafts counterbalanced?
The weight of the piston, rings, and connecting rod is concentrated out at the rod journal. As the crank spins, it throws that weight around. The counterweight is on the opposite side from the rod journal to offset this weight. This is why when you replace pistons or rods, the crank is rebalanced by adding or removing material from the counterweight.
What is Con rod bearing and main journal bearing?
The flat spots on a crank are called journals. There are main caps with bearings both sides that hold the crank in the block. The conn rods have similar bearings & they also attach to crank journals. The bearings are c-shaped copper things that go in the conn rod & main caps for the crank.

How to remove the spare tire on a Chevy Trailblazer?
After you open the rear hatch look on the sill of the frame on the right hand side of the truck. You must insert the Jack crank into the hole and turn it counter clockwise to release the holder and the tire will tilt down from underneath. If it does not release then you may have to pull it down as the mechanism has been known to seize. After you open the rear hatch look on the sill of the frame on the right hand side of the truck. You must insert the Jack crank into the hole and turn it counter clockwise to release the holder and the tire will tilt down from underneath. If it does not release then you may have to pull it down as the mechanism has been known to seize. The instructions and illustration on the laminated instruction paper that is with the jack crank are decieving. DO NOT "assemble the crank as shown in illustration B"... The nut inside the hole is made to fit the LARGEST square (the one the other rod piece fits INSIDE of) on the jack crank rods. JUST inside the hole in the sill frame, about 5 or 6 inches, is the head of the nut you need to get the crank rod over. It is at the bottom of a sort of "funnel". So if you insert the crank rod more than 8 inches or so, you missed the head. You may have to wiggle it around a bit to get the rod's socket over the head of the nut. If it is the first time it is used, the paint will actually make the fit extremely difficult, or tight. It took me 4 hours to get that spare down!! This is how I know these things..,. The instruction sheet messes you up before you ever begin!
