How to service and repair the connecting rod bearing by measuring the crankshaft connecting rod journal diameters on Ford Explorer Sport Trac?

Measure both sides of the crankshaft connecting rod journal at each end to determine the rod bearing service needs. The measurement gap between ends helps show taper that must stay under the allowed wear amount.

How to check the connecting rod bearing journal-to-bearing clearance on Ford Explorer Sport Trac?

The measurement of connecting rod bearing journal-to-bearing clearance requires a verification of crankshaft connecting rod journal specifications. Start the procedure by taking out the connecting rod bearing cap while setting Plastigage on the bearing surface. The crankshaft must not receive any turning motion at this moment. Follow up by securing the bearing cap according to specifications before removing it. Check the connecting rod bearing journal clearance measurement on Plastigage while ensuring its smooth and flat appearance. A connecting rod or bearing should be checked for nature and damage due to variations in Plastigage width. Check the specification of clearance and change the faulty components when the measurement is outside of limits.
