What defects should be inspected in the connecting rod bearings on Ford Ranger?

Examine the connecting rod bearings to identify fatigue failure spots but watch for surface irregularities when the bearings do not seat properly and clean the dirt in the engine oil. Also note if engine oil scratching scuffs the surface and check whether lubrication protects the base.

How to service the connecting rod bearings on Ford Ranger?

The connecting rod bearing service requires the removal of the oil pan together with the oil pan baffle. Take necessary precautions because the connecting rod bearing caps must stay together with the connecting rods as a set when proper installation prevents engine damage. The next step requires you to take out both the connecting rod bearing caps while lifting the piston slightly so you can access the connecting rod bearings. The first step for installation requires precise fitting of connecting rod bearings before you apply clean engine oil to reduce the risk of damage. When installing the bearings use directional orientation of the bearing caps and reinstall them in their original position. You must repeat this procedure for all connecting rod bearings before reinstalling the oil pan baffle along with the oil pan.

The Rod Bearing used in the Ford Ranger cars is needed for the support of crank shaft and the connecting rods that provides a rotation in the car and reduce friction. These bearings are mainly of plain bearing type and may be of bi-metal or tri-metal construction. Bi-metal Rod Bearings possess a base of aluminum alloy that is sometimes enriched with silicone for improvement of its hardness and seizure coefficient. Tri-metal Rod Bearings on the other hand integrated features such as a copper alloy layer which is coated with a lead-tin-copper overlay which enhance strength and fatigue properties. Over the years, the Ford Ranger Rod Bearings have gone through improvements and thus the high-performance rangers have come with the tri-metal bearings that employ superior materials and finishes to cut on the friction and also offer great strength. Specific design modifications are used in these performance Rod Bearings to keep up high output engines while keeping on with conventional engine oil clearance. They are important because they are part of the Engine and any neglect in installation or maintenance may lead to shortenage of the life span of the Engine.
