rod bearings

[bleu62]

just got Grover running good when engine started tapping, then knocking. i'm checking (and changing) rod bearings first. just pulled # 1 out the bottom. bearing says ERR 17 73 on one side, and on the other side an imprint which looks like a teacup in a circle with MZ 7298. are these standards? what is the best source for new bearings AND can i reuse the rod bolts? (and while i'm here, what's recommended torque? thanks!! 97 Disco 4.0

Give nathan a call in my signature, he can get you a good price on parts and recommend any options as well as torque values... I would recommend having the RAVE manual also in my signature as it has the rebuild specs for the engine.

Joey, pulled caps.all bearings had minimal wear. went by Cannibal and spoke with a tech. lifter collapsed was his answer. Sooooooo, just put caps back on @ 15 lbs torque..... ah, finger tight....hahaha. will put pan back on tomorrow and fire up THEN go up top. crap..... i'm learning though..... thanks for the help!
