What should be considered when examining and replacing Rod Bearing during an overhaul on Ford Explorer?

When an engine is overhauled, it is advisable to fit new main and connecting rod bearings, while retaining the old ones for analysis, to deduce the state of the engine. The main root causes of bearing failure include, inadequate lubrication, dirt contamination, overloading of the engine and corrosion and all these root causes must be remedial before any reassembly is made to avoid repetition. When inspecting bearings they are withdrawn from their appropriate place and placed on a flat surface with a view of matching the defects with the crankshaft journal. Contaminants are brought into the engine during assembly or even through the filters, as well as during the machining processes, and our experiences show that such contaminants get lodged on the bearing surfaces and thereby create scores or gouges on the bearing material. To avoid such a failure, it is essential to clean every part carefully always change the oil and the filter frequently. This arises from one of the following causes: heat, overloading, leaking of oil and blocked passages and as a result can cause severe damage where the bearing material is entirely wiped off. Again, habits in driving are antonymous with bearing durability; for instance, in luging the engine or in short trips, there can be overload and corrosion respectively. Further, substandard mounting of bearings also provokes a lack of supplies of oil and high areas associated with failure.

Ford Explorer Rod Bearing

The Rod Bearing in Ford Explorer automobiles is used in maintaining the crankshaft and the connecting rods, but it enables the rotation to be as smooth as possible with minimal friction encountered. These are commonly plain bearings, with the option of being bi-metal or tri-metal in its make up. In Bi-metal Rod Bearings the bearing rod has an aluminum alloy lining which may be impregnated with silicone for the purpose of increasing the hardness and seizure of the bearing. Tri-metal Rod Bearings on the other hand contain a layer of copper alloy along with a lead-tin-copper overlay making the bearings stronger and more fatigue resistant. In recent past, the Ford Explorer Rod Bearings have underwent change with the high performance one adopting tri-metal bearings that features higher class materials coated to cut on friction and adding on the durability aspect. These performance Rod Bearings are manufactured for raised output engines, Design changes include more significant oil hole sizes and better eccentricity to sustain oil clearance. When it comes to the use of the Ford Explorer Rod Bearings there is need to realize that for them to be productive and to last long in service one has to ensure that they are properly installed and maintained.
