What are the general procedures for connecting rod bearing service and repair on Mercury Cougar?

The start of connecting rod bearing service and repair requires following general procedures which include cleaning and inspecting the crankshaft and crankshaft bearings and camshaft and crankshaft bearings as well as the cylinder head and valve train components (valves, seats, springs, etc.) and piston and piston pin and connecting rod and cylinder block and bore. During subassembly processing the technicians service cylinder head components as well as piston components and the piston pin and connecting rod assemblies. Service and repair guidelines encompass the complete breakdown process of the engine along with its assembly sequence. The absence of a service procedure for an internal engine part suggests manufacturer neglect since available procedures exist within the engine service and repair documentation.

How to service the connecting rod bearings on Mercury Sable?

The service procedure for connecting rod bearings requires initial removal of the oil pan together with potential removal of the oil pump. The connecting rod bearing caps function together exclusively with their corresponding connecting rods because any wrong assembly may result in engine damage. The service of connecting rod bearings begins with bearing cap removal followed by removal of the connecting rod bearings. Install the connecting rod bearings after applying engine oil since oil acts as protection against damage during installation. The procedure consists of mounting the new connecting rod bearings then installing the connecting rod bearing cap. The replacement method should be performed for every bearing in the connecting rod set. The procedure requires reinstallation of the oil pump after which the oil pan needs to be installed.
