Subaru 12108AB180 Bearing Set Connecting Rod

To begin with, use a feeler gauge to check the endplay (side clearance) before removing the connecting rods from the crankshaft. For each connecting rod, put the feeler gauge between the first connecting rod and the crankshaft throw until it stops moving. For each rod, repeat this procedure. The endplay is equal to that of the feeler gauge(s). Check out an automotive machine shop for limits of endplay service. In case play exceeds service limit new connecting rods are needed. If new rods (or a new crankshaft) are fitted, then minimum allowable limits may be violated. To attain this, rods should be machined. In case you find it necessary consult an automotive machine shop on this matter. Carefully mark the connecting rods and caps if they are not numbered so that they can be reinstalled in their same positions on their same journals of a crankshaft as marked here below: one dot at front for cap nuts or bolts on one journal loosened in three steps; two dots for second ones; three dots for third ones and so on attached to them with cap nuts or bolts removed in three steps or loosened with 3-step removal of either cap nuts or bolts off it by using which other methods were used such as marking both number of holes present in these parts' flanges against number oil hole openings just after making sure that there is no oil coming into them from through clean up twice etc since there will be any confusion about whether they belong together later by soaking them all again over night once more but before carefully picking up besides wiping solvent later followed through complete removal hence drying thoroughly like newly bought items although during processing where there was also application clear earlier foregoing parting lines being taken away now finally while restating what was given above only excepting important details like differences mentioned herein starting another paragraph but without disregarding last words above yet reducing length nevertheless While doing this job happens ensure that bottom end of crankshaft is not marked by any other bolt. Clean the parts with solvent but do not mix them up and thoroughly dry. Ensure that oil holes are not clogged.
