I'm changing the Rod Bearings on my '86 4x4 pickup. I need help determining the size bearings I need (Standard, 25 over, etc.). My Haynes manual says to determine the size get the letter off of the rod bearing cap (A, B or C). The letter on my caps are B. What the manual doesn't tell you is how this carries over to the size. I'm thinking since mine is a B it means 25 over. Any help here sure would be appreciated. The service dept at the local Toyota dealer was clueless to what I was talking about. They only order them as A, B or C.

 

If your crank hasn't been turned you can just use the standard size bearing's . Go to the Toyota parts dept. and ask for the std. bearings and they should ask you A,B, or C. Don't forget to plastic gauge.

 

Hey merrill94, I moved your previous post over to the maintenance section and I'm going to move this one too. I'll have the maintenance moderator merge these two threads.

 

merill, et al:

i deleted the other thread b/c there were no replies.

Thanks, my next question is what about if I go to Auto Zone to get the bearing. They don't know what A, B or C means. Or is that more the reason to go to Toyota.
