How Can Rod Bearing Caps and Shells Be Marked and Installed for Proper Assembly on Dodge Challenger?

Always mark the bearing caps during removal, because they cannot be assembled in different positions. To install the bearing shells, lay the cap on the shaft, insert the rod inside the cap and then place the screws through the tangs in both bearing shells. Don't continue until all rods on one bank have been rigged. There should be no more than 0.008 mm (0.0003 in.) difference from round on any crankshaft journals and standard, 0.025 mm (0.001 in.) and 0.254 mm (0.010 in.) undersize bearings are offered. You must attach the bearings in two sets and you cannot blend new and old parts. Do not finish rod ends or bearing covers with a file. Use plastigage to measure both main bearing clearance and connecting rod clearance and check the rod bearing bolts for wear. If the threads have become narrower, you have to replace them. A bolt should be considered stretched if the threads of the bolt do not tightly touch the scale being used against it. Before beginning to install the threaded fasteners, clean them and inspect them and put in clean bolts, making sure each bolt is only finger-tight before you tighten them all alternately as much as the manufacturer requires. A dial indicator should be positioned on a stationary point in the engine, so the probe touches the cap of the connecting rod. Move the connecting rod to its furthest back position, zero the dial indicator, move the rod forward to its furthest front position, take the reading and check it against the specifications. The same process is used on all the connecting rods, but the crankshaft has to be turned so they are visible.
