How to Service and Repair Rod Bearings on 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser?

Ensure you check the engine's manual and use Plastigage to check the correct rod bearing clearance before any repairs or servicing. You should never try to reuse rod bearing bolts. Before fixing new bolts, cover the threads of the installation holes in clean engine oil. Install every bolt so that it is just finger tight, then alternate and tighten them to put the cap together rightly. First, tighten the bolts to 27 Nm (20 ft. lbs.); afterward, turn the bolts 1/4 more TURN by hand, reserving your torque wrench for the first step. Make sure the connecting rod side clearance matches the standards using a feeler gauge.
