Main bearing set for the three-bearing 2.25L four-cylinder engine, forming the crankshaft support in the cylinder block bottom end.

The shells locate in the main bearing housings of the block and are clamped by the main bearing caps. They carry the crankshaft main journals and maintain the oil film that is fed onward through the crankshaft drillings to the big-end journals, so main bearing clearance governs oil pressure across the whole bottom end.

Supplied at 0.020in service size, to suit main journals reground from standard, and sold as an engine set.

Frequently asked questions

What is the main bearing set for the 2.25 three-bearing engine?
The main bearing set for the 2.25 litre three-bearing engine forms the crankshaft support in the cylinder block bottom end. The shells locate in the main bearing housings and are clamped by the caps, carrying the crankshaft main journals and maintaining the oil film. Main bearing clearance governs oil pressure across the whole bottom end.
What size is this main bearing set and when is it used?
This main bearing set is supplied at 0.020 inch service size, to suit main journals that have been reground 0.020 inch from standard. Confirm your crankshaft has been machined to this undersize before ordering, since fitting the wrong grade leaves incorrect running clearance and low oil pressure.
Does this fit the 2.25 five-bearing engine?
No, this set fits the 2.25 litre petrol three-bearing engine only, as used in the Series III and early Defender, not the later five-bearing engine, which takes a different main bearing set. Confirm whether your engine is a three-bearing or five-bearing crankshaft before ordering.
