"Rod bearings" refer to small components in an engine that help reduce friction between the connecting rod and the crankshaft. They help facilitate smooth movement and rotation of the engine parts.
Full definition
The cause of a rod knock is usually due to a
spun rod bearing (could also just be a worn out bearing over time, but much less common).

Otherwise you will face problems with AVCS system, high oil consumption, connecting
rod bearing failure and other troubles.
I bought an 1989 Honda TR350 4x4 with possibly a
blown rod bearing / scratched piston.
If the knocking is a low pitched thud, then it could be coming from the crankshaft /
con rod bearings.
The main mechanical issues are spun
rod bearings from oil starvation due to a dented oil pan.
Interestingly, connecting
rod bearing load exponentiates with respect to RPM, and engine load is a much lesser factor.
The ticking noise could be a lifter tapping on the top of the engine or a connecting
rod bearing in your engine loosing oil pressure.
Select - fit main and
rod bearings enable reduced clearances to help lower system oil demand and oil pumping effort.
Do you think this is an oil - pump issue, or are the main bearings or
rod bearings shot?
Dealer diagnosed a spun rod bearing!!!
The following internally lubricated parts are covered: Pistons, Piston rings and Wrist pins, Piston connecting rods and bearings; Crankshaft and
main rod bearings; push rods; Valves; Springs; Replaceable guide seats; Lifters; Rocker arms, shafts and bushings; Timing gear and chain; Timing chain tensioners and retainers; Eccentric shaft and bearing; and Oil pump.
These staggering performance figures are attained thanks to two new higher - capacity turbochargers, a revised charge - air cooling system, a new crankshaft, and
new rod bearings.
Also, the compression ratio in these engines increased to 10.2, they feature the new
connecting rod bearings, and the intake ports have changed.
Localized pressure peaks and the explosion, rather than the burn of the fuel, causes the piston, rings, and
rod bearings to shake and make a sound similar to a ball - peen hammer hitting a metal surface.
If the backside of
the rod bearing is strong enough when this happens, you can throw a rod.
Or is
it the rod bearings; which ones?
It seems to be coming from the main block, so I'm thinking it's probably
a rod bearing.
The combustion event is a much milder compressive force on
the rod bearings.
I don't see anything in your post related to plastiguaging the connecting
rod bearings.
The connecting
rod bearings will also have added stress when you do this.
When you stall the car,
the rod bearings get pushed up against the crank shaft and piston rods.
Besides, unadjusted valves and connecting
rod bearings can also knock.
Michael Answer: A diesel engine produces between 500 and 800 pounds of compression on every combustion stroke, so you must have a good oil film to protect
the rod bearings, because they really take a beating.
The 5.0 L also has two additional knock sensors, new crank and
rod bearings, and a composite oil pan to reduce weight.
If the debris was not completely removed, oil flow may be restricted through the connecting
rod bearings, causing connecting rod damage.
A worn connecting
rod bearing will produce a metallic, cyclic knocking noise from the engine and possible engine failure.
You will have to buy ACL main and
rod bearings, a performance oil pump, a block guard, ARP head studs, a Walbro 255 fuel pump, an AEM fuel rail, 630 cc fuel injectors, a fuel pressure regulator, and a Mishimoto aluminum radiator.
This engine was created because it was necessary to build an engine using available parts; connecting
rod bearings are very difficult to find for the narrower connecting rods commonly found in this engine.
The engine rebuild included new cylinder head, valves, valve seats, pistons, rings, main and
rod bearings.
ENGINE: 1965 Stamped «T053HC» bored out.030 over, Small journal crank and
rod bearings.
Plasma coated cylinder liners, a central oil supply through the crankshaft with larger bearing diameters, larger connecting
rod bearings and the rigid valve train with shims to provide valve clearance compensation all carry over from the 2018 911 GT3.
All internally lubricated parts: Engine block, cylinder heads, intake manifold, pistons, piston rings, wrist pins, connecting rods and
rod bearings, timing chain and gears, valve covers, rocker arms / shafts and bushing, valves, valve springs, seats and guides, valve push rods, hydraulic valve lifters, oil pump, oil pan and fuel pump.
The engine's internals — crankshaft and connecting -
rod bearings — have also been beefed up to handle more power.
But Ford has made some key changes to have the engine stand up to the rigors that will be put upon it by owners.The crankshaft,
rod bearings, turbocharger, and fuel injection system have been re-engineered.
