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.

Copper-lead lined shells, standard size, for a crankshaft whose main journals remain at original diameter. Copper-lead bearing material sustains higher specific loads than a white-metal lining and is the more durable choice where journal surface finish and oil supply are good.

Frequently asked questions

What is the copper-lead main bearing set for the 2.25 three-bearing engine?
The copper-lead main bearing set for the 2.25 litre three-bearing engine forms the crankshaft support in the block bottom end. The shells locate in the main bearing housings and carry the crankshaft main journals. Copper-lead lining sustains higher specific loads than a white-metal lining, making it the more durable choice where journal finish and oil supply are good.
What size is this copper-lead bearing set?
This copper-lead set is supplied in standard size, for a crankshaft whose main journals remain at their original diameter. If your crankshaft has been reground, you need an undersize set instead. Confirm your journal size before ordering so the shells match.
Which engine does this copper-lead set fit?
This copper-lead main bearing set fits the 2.25 litre petrol three-bearing engine only, as used in the Series IIA and Series III. It does not suit the later five-bearing engine. Confirm your engine is a three-bearing crankshaft before ordering.
