How to check the connecting rod bearing journal-to-bearing clearance on Mercury Mountaineer?

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.

How to Service and Repair the Rod Bearing on Mercury Mountaineer?

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.

The Mercury Mountaineer Rod Bearing is one of the device that serve an important role in proving the efficiency of the Mercury Mountaineer model. Developed to give assistance to the crankshaft and connecting rods, the primary function of the Rod Bearing is to rotate while preventing an excessive level or friction which is important for the running of the engine. Different from the plain bearings, Rod Bearings are available in bi-metal and tri-metal constructions, with the Mountaineer type covering production 1996-2010 models. The bi-metal sulfuric acid tank option has an aluminum alloy clad option and a tri-metal that has a copper alloy clad for improved strength and fatigue properties. All of this attention paid to the Rod Bearing is not only a performance enhancement for the Mountaineer, but also a safety factor due largely to paying attention to oil clearance and eliminating a possibility of an engine failure. The materials used in the construction of the cylinder block have been machined to fit appropriately and enable the Rod Bearing to operate optimally irrespective of the driving situation. Interestingly, in the automotive industry, Mercury Mountaineer Rod Bearing has its unprecedented coating and unusual eccentricity for enhancing lubrication and increased durability notably in high rev engines. In general, the Mercury Mountaineer Rod Bearing sums up Mercury's concern for quality; therefore, making it a key component in the performance and durability of the Mercury Mountaineer.
