What defects should be inspected in the connecting rod bearings on Mercury Grand Marquis?

Check the connecting rod bearings for different problems like craters from fatigue damage and spots from poor installation together with dirt particles buried in oil and surface damage from dirty oil.

How to Service and Repair the Rod Bearing on Mercury Grand Marquis?

The first step to service and repair the connecting rod requires checking crankshaft connecting rod journals against specifications before proceeding with connecting rod bearing journal clearance analysis. Narrow the bearing cap from the connecting rod then place Plastigage across the bearing surface for measurement. The crankshaft requires no rotation during this operation. First install the bearing cap before adjusting its torque specification then remove the cap a second time. Read the Plastigage measurement results to check the connecting rod bearing journal clearance while the Plastigage material should lay flat and smooth. A width measurement difference spots a tapering connection rod or its bearing or rod which shows damage.
