  Q: What are the essential considerations for retaining and inspecting old main and connecting rod bearings during engine overhaul on Honda Passport?

  A: When overhauling an engine, old main and Connecting Rod bearings should be retained in order to investigate into the engine's state. These causes include lack of lubrication, presence of dirt or any particles, over loading of the engine and corrosion and before reassembly these causes must be eradicated in order to prevent them in the future. When inspecting bearings, bring out them from their destinations and place them on a clean surface to enable match issues with the crankshaft journal. Particulate matter may be introduced in the engine during manufacturing or through the filters or through machining and can be lodged in the bearing material and degrade it. To minimise this, it requires that all the parts of the car are washed and sediments removed and that one should change the oil and filter frequently. This is due to one or any of the following; excessive heating, overloading, leakage of oil or blockage of its passages and it worsts a bearing severely. Low speed running in high gear and short trip running also reduce the bearing life by losing the oil film and developing local corrosion. Also, unfavorable arrangement as well as improper fitting of the bearings can lead to denial of oil supply and failure. If bearings are worn or oil clearances are incorrect a special procedure must be used for the selection of new bearings, mainly for new four cylinder and 3.2 litre V6 engines and ensuring correct size using clearance measurements. For main bearings, find the size markings on the oil pan rail and crankshaft for journal bore sizes while for connecting rod bearings find the size markings on the connecting rods so as to match the color codes for replacements.
