Frequently asked questions

What is the Td5 big end bearing set used for?
The big end bearing set supplies the replaceable shell bearings between the connecting rods and the crankshaft crankpins. It carries each rod on its crankpin journal, maintaining the oil-film clearance at the bottom end of the 2.5L Td5 five-cylinder turbo diesel used in Defender and Discovery 2.
What does the 0.25mm undersize marking mean?
The 0.25mm undersize means these shells suit a crankshaft whose crankpins have been reground 0.25mm undersize. You'll need this size only if the crank has been machined to that figure. Fitting it to standard crankpins gives the wrong clearance, so confirm your regrind measurements before ordering.
Which Land Rover models does this big end bearing set fit?
This big end bearing set fits the Defender Td5 (1987-2006) and Discovery 2 (1998-2004) with the 2.5L five-cylinder Td5 turbo diesel. It's an OEM bottom-end set. Confirm your engine is the Td5 unit, as the earlier 300Tdi uses different connecting rod bearings.
What are the signs that the big end bearings are worn?
Worn big end bearings typically cause a sharp knocking that rises with engine load, low oil pressure, and bearing material in the sump. On a Td5 they're usually renewed during an engine rebuild or after a crankpin regrind, rather than replaced on their own.
