Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC173030K bearing set used for?
The RTC173030K is a King-branded connecting rod bearing set, machined 0.030 inch, for the 2.25 litre 4-cylinder petrol and diesel engines in the Series II/III and Defender (1983-2006).
Should the RTC173030K bearings be replaced as a full set?
Yes. Conrod bearings are supplied and fitted as a complete set across all cylinders, since mixing worn and new shells risks uneven clearances and premature engine wear.
What's the difference between the RTC173030K and RTC173030?
Both are 0.030 inch conrod bearing sets for the same 2.25 litre engine fitment. The RTC173030K is supplied under the King brand name, while the RTC173030 doesn't specify a brand on the item record.
When would a 2.25 litre engine need 0.030 inch bearings instead of standard size?
0.030 inch bearings are needed after the crankshaft has been reground to that undersize to remove journal wear or scoring. Fitting them to a standard, unground crank would leave the clearance too tight.
