• Q: How to Maintain and Fix a Rod Bearing on 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser?

  A: You should measure the connecting rod bearing clearance first, using Plastigage and make sure the clearance value you find matches the Engine Specifications. It's necessary to use new bolts each time and coat the thread with clean engine oil just before installing them. Adjust each bolt by turning all of them until they stop slightly, then turn them alternately in the correct sequence. For the first step, tighten the connecting rod bolts to 27 Nm and for the second step, turn them an additional 1/4 TURN without any torque assistance. Check the inner edge of the connecting rod with a feeler gauge, with the values entered in the specification table.
