Professional engine builder installation is strongly recommended:
- Ensure engine is cool - Allow the engine to cool completely before disassembly
- Disconnect battery - Always disconnect the negative terminal before working
- Drain engine oil - Drain the engine oil into a suitable container
- Remove oil pan - Remove the oil pan to access the connecting rods and crankshaft
- Remove connecting rod caps - Mark the connecting rods and caps for reassembly; remove the cap bolts
- Remove old bearings - Carefully remove the old bearing shells from the connecting rod and cap
- Clean and inspect - Clean the connecting rod bore and crankshaft journal; inspect for wear, scoring, or damage
- Measure clearances - Use a micrometer and bore gauge to verify bearing clearance and journal diameter
- Install new bearings - Position the new bearing shells in the connecting rod and cap; ensure locating tabs engage properly
- Lubricate bearings - Apply clean engine oil or assembly lubricant to the bearing surfaces
- Install connecting rod cap - Position the cap on the rod; install and torque bolts to manufacturer specifications
- Check rotation - Rotate the crankshaft to ensure smooth operation without binding
- Reinstall oil pan - Install a new oil pan gasket and reinstall the pan; torque bolts to specification
- Refill with engine oil - Fill with the correct grade and quantity of engine oil
- Start and test - Start the engine; listen for abnormal noise and check oil pressure
- Road test - Test drive to verify proper engine operation
