What should be considered when replacing main and connecting rod bearings during an engine overhaul on 1993-2011 Ford Ranger?

Another procedure which requires changing the main and connecting rod bearings for new ones is the engine overhaul, but the old bearings must be kept as well since they can reveal much information about the state of the engine. Since bearing failure can be attributed to many causes such as inadequate lubrication, foreign particles, excessive loads and corrosion, one has to ensure these causes are erased before the next cycle of use of the bearings by the need to reassemble them. When inspecting the bearings they should be placed out from where they are used and arranged to be clean in order to match any typical flaws with the crankshaft journal. Bearing contaminants may be introduced at assembly or through the filters, and from the machining operation may be partially embedded into the bearing, while larger ones may score the journal. To avoid such failures, cleaning of all the parts and periodic replacing of the oil and filter should be done. Such consequences may arise from insufficient supply of lubricant due to causes such as excessive temperature, excessive loading, loss of oil or obstructions to oil flow and can cause matters such as total removal of the bearing material. Other driving activity also affects bearing or oil, for example, when low RPM is engaged at low speed, this puts crazy loads that force out oil, or alternatively, very short duration trips that do not produce enough heat ending up in corrosion. Also, bearings can fail due to inadequate application of the oil through installation or other surfaces creating high spots.

Ford Rod Bearing

If you own Ford and want to keep it in top shape, choosing OEM Rod Bearing is a smart move. They are precisely engineered and follow strict factory standards. They are made in advanced facilities that use cutting edge technology. Each part goes through thorough testing to confirm strength and safety, so you can trust it. FordPartsDeal.com gives you genuine Ford Rod Bearing at some of the affordable online prices without cutting quality. Every OEM Ford part includes the manufacturer's warranty, easy returns, and super-fast delivery. So why wait? Shop now and get your vehicle back to peak condition.

The Ford Rod Bearing cushions absorb crankshaft forces allowing the engine to rotate mile after mile. Founded in 1903, Ford began in an industry violating conventions ten years later as the moving assembly line reduced build times and prices to the masses of ordinary purchasers. Ford is driving practical technology like EcoBoost engines which extract more power out of each and every drop of fuel without inflating its ownership price. Ford is equipping SYNC voice control to ensure drivers change their playlists or chart navigation just by talking without looking at the road. Co-Pilot360 is an assistance system such as automatic braking and lane keeping alerts which Ford packs, removing daily stress and pushing accidents to the side. Electric trucks such as the zero-emission F-150 Lightning prove that the badge is making a major bet on cleaner power that hauls and tows without a guilty conscience. Rod Bearing is available in bi-metal and tri-metal layers, the second one having a core made of copper-lead and a dry film covering to cut friction, shed heat and endure high-rev pounding. Rod Bearing maintains ideal oil clearance through squeezing the journal with perfect eccentricity and larger oil holes that pump lubricant precisely at the position where the film is thin. Rod Bearing is thus applied to protect the crank and connecting rods against metal-to-metal destruction and aid the engine in consuming less fuel by allowing smoother movement.
