What Rod Bearings Actually Do
Rod bearings sit between the connecting rods and the crankshaft, allowing smooth rotation under insane loads. When they wear, oil pressure drops, knock shows up, and your engine starts making sounds it absolutely shouldn’t.
On the Nissan 350Z, Nissan 370Z, and Infiniti VQ platforms, fresh rod bearings are mandatory during any proper rebuild.
