How To Change Rod Bearings Without Engine Removal

[@friendlytoad6534]

Good job. Don't forget to sand the connecting rod journals with wd40 and 800 grit sandpaper. White clean then install bearings. Also put a strip around the crankshaft connector. Wrap a shoe lace around it and sand it down also with a back and forth pull

[@mariopic]

should have polished crank with some wet sanding paper and a shoe lace to get avoid it from scratching up new bearing

[@CloudsGarage]

You are absolutely right but still this video is just to show everyone that it can be done for such a low cost then everyone is free to do their own way. I choose the easy way I am a bit lazy :)

[@R2R152]

Assembly lube would be nice too! Dry bearings? Rough journal!

[@RGIIIBOXING]

If your not going to Polish the crank..you really needed to put some lucus oil stabilizer on top of the bearings..so they would inturn..oil the crank..no metal to metal start up"

@@joshsettlage got about 20 ish, had another set of shell's so tried it a second time, and they went while the engine was just ticking over, the main reason for the bearing failing was that the oil pump was knackered so it wasn't feeding the bearings properly.

Working for a professional subaru shop and rebuilding these motors daily, I would never recommend this to anyone unless you absolutely needed the car back on the road. For those of you doing this method then selling the car, I hope you're in a good place cause a hack repair to be sold is bad karma. There is so much more that needs to go into this job for it to be reliable. Cheap is not always best

This has been done for decades and engines have gone on for years after I had a bmw and did this two times on the same journal over a 5 year period sold the car to my mate who had helped me do it twice and it’s still going 7 years on and with another 50k on it so it’s worth a shot if you can do it and money is tight

[@mjjeverything7912]

He should of atleast polished the crank with sand paper

[@dawsonjorgensen3521]

It depends how much damage the crank and bearing took, if it knocks enough to where you can hear it at idle, this fix won't work, at least not for very long, however a slight bearing rattle, with worn out bearings would have a much better chance with rod bearing replacement.

[@80sPhoenix]

did the same with my 1zz engine on a Roadster. bearing replaced, engine smooth like new. 18£ of bearings, when garages where asking to rebuild or replace the engine for 1K. These videos are the worst nightmare for specialist and garages :D Thanks for sharing !

[@import810]

*WARNING* Please know that if you follow this DIY, you will soon be replacing your bearings again or your entire engine. This repair is merely a band-aid and shouldn't be used for anything serious or long-term. The crankshaft still has old bearing material on it and will need to be sanded/polished until within spec. After the crank has been repaired, you need to measure the bearing clearance and use the correct size bearings for your engine's specified tolerance. Not only that but you need a torque wrench with proper torque specs for any type of engine work. It's too bad KZbin removed dislikes because this video is dangerous and costly.

[@kicksoffs]

@@kicksoffs I build these engines professionally and I completely agree with what he's saying. You should go buy a lottery ticket if this method has lasted you that long

How early you catch the knock and perform this repair will determine how long it lasts. Obviously try to clean the crank as best you can. Well done 👍✅! !! Mad respect !

[@angelpaguay3081]

I would have polished the crank first to eliminate the bearring metal that got melted onto the crank. Since he replaced only one bearring he should have used another set with the fines sandpaper grid glued to the inside of the new bearring to sand down to smoother look. then use a piece of tape to hold them together onto the crank and use a shoe string or a rubber belt to spin it fast by hand for a few times with some water. Then remove and inspect untill smooth finish. sounds hard but not impossible. Ill be doing it to my 2005 Wrx Impreza this weekend

[@martinkiefer8406]

[@SuperBigNye]

the probablem with this is its just going to happen again since the crank journal was scarred

[@zycieto-iniejei-bajasubaru7499]

ok agree with You with 100% ,but question: Is this perfect solution for temporary period some... months? years? of course im doing repairs by my self with my subaru, so i can change rod knocks every month, until when i collect all of oem parts for proper rebuild with new seals, oil pump etc. what do You think? is this good way to safety ,temporary,cheampest and continued use of my engine?

[@buddhaman001]

@Top Fuel Less, I didn't see any assembly lube go on.

[@sleepwalker29]

[@bigytv8392]

Thanks for the video. I am curious how was this repair in a long term? How did you figure out what bearing size/thickness to use?

[@Align700nitro]

A proper rebuilt, the crank get polished and you do the measurement to figure out what oversize to use. In this case, I bet it's just the stock size bearing. The crank doesn't look so beat up, It will last long if the engine doesn't have other problems to begin with.

You’re gonna end up running into the same problem in a bit. When you throw a rod or bearing, those little metal flakes go throughout your engine. Once you throw a rod, if you don’t take apart the engine and resurface almost everything, that engine is junk.

You should pull it and have the crank machined. The crank will be out of round so this fix is likely temporary. The new bearing could fail quickly. The entire engine should be disassembled. Metal flakes from the old bearing can clog oil passages and cause more damage

@@jesusvillanueva2616 A knock sound will likely be rod knock which is different to clicking, your knock sensor (detonation sensor) could be shutting down the car I'd say. You may want to try replacing that knock sensor first as if they send the wrong signal to the ECU they can actually induce knocking and one of the reasons the car is shutting itself off I'd say. It's relatively cheap compared to taking the engine apart or doing the kind of emergency procedure shown in this video. Otherwise I'd say most likely it is main crankshaft bearing going out, and you need to fix it before driving the car again as it can lead to a complete engine failure.
