Karthik,
Hope all's well with your '88!
Connecting rod bearing replacement may be simple but may not be necessary as the B202 SAAB engines have been known to support 750K+ miles and more.
If changing bearings, make certain that a good tri-metal bearing is used (OEM VP) and never use TRW, Federal Mogul (Glyco), or other non tri-metal types at the connecting rod. We offer rebuild kits for these engines which include the VP bearings and chromium piston rings but we will be the first to say: "if it isn't broken, don't fix it".
The bearing journals are very hard and typically incur little wear but these can be visually inspected and the journal dimensions and ovality can be verified without removing the crankshaft.
Best of luck and regards,
GSK at SWEDISH DYNAMICS,INC.
