Hey all,
I recently bought a 2.3l 97 ranger and was upset to find a knocking rod 44 miles afterwards. I picked up an engine from a junkyard (out of a 95) and am in the process of rebuilding. Unfortunately my Haynes manual does not give the proper clearances for the connecting rod bearings (I want to check their clearance with the crank using plastiguage.)
Does anyone have a list of the clearances and torque specifications for the 95 2.3 engine? I can find information on the larger engines but there seems to be very little love for the little guy.
Thanks,
Kyle
