Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC1718G main bearing set for?
The RTC1718G main bearing set is the replaceable shell bearings that carry the crankshaft in the Rover 3.5-litre V8 petrol block. They locate each main journal and provide the running surface the crankshaft turns on. It fits Land Rover Defender, Discovery 1, Range Rover Classic and Series III 3.5 V8 engines.
What does "standard size" mean for these main bearings?
Standard size means these bearings suit a crankshaft running its original, unmachined main journal diameters. If the crank has been reground undersize, you'll need matching undersize bearings instead. Check the journals or the machine shop's regrind spec before ordering the standard set.
When should the main bearings be replaced?
Main bearings are typically renewed during a V8 engine rebuild, or when bearing wear shows as low oil pressure or a bottom-end knock. Running worn main bearings on the 3.5 V8 risks crankshaft and block damage. They're replaced as a full set, not individually.
Which Land Rover V8 engines does this bearing set fit?
This set fits the 3.5-litre V8 petrol engine in the Land Rover Defender (1987-2006), Discovery 1 (1989-1998), Range Rover Classic (up to 1994) and Series III V8 (109 Stage One). It suits carburettor and EFI versions of the 3.5 as fitted across these models.
