Chrysler Repair: In-frame bearing change: 2.4L DOHC, chrysler sebring, rod bearings


Question
Can I change the main and rod bearings in 2002 Chrysler sebring 2.4 sedan while motor is still in frame?

Answer
Hi James,
The mains cannot be changed without removing the engine. The rods can apparently be changed if you remove the oil pan, balance shafts and the cylinder head. It would be important to have a good set of manual pages for the details. I can xerox copy those from my '03 manual at 10 cents per side plus postage. Use the 'thank and rate' tab to get back to me if you are interested in getting those.
