Aftermarket Part
Aftermarket: Quality alternative. This is a quality alternative, designed to fit and function like the original part, often at a more competitive price.
Connecting rod bearing set - the big-end shells of the 2.25L four-cylinder engine, running between the connecting rod big-end eyes and the crankshaft crankpins.

Each shell pair is clamped between the rod and its cap and is fed pressurised oil through the crankshaft drillings from the main bearings. The shells set the big-end running clearance and therefore the oil film that carries the combustion load from the piston into the crankshaft.

Supplied at 0.040in service size, to suit crankpins reground from standard, and sold as an engine set.

Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC173040 con rod bearing set used for?
The RTC173040 is a connecting rod (big-end) bearing set for the 2.25L four-cylinder engine, ground 0.040in undersize. It fits the Land Rover Series III 2.25L petrol engine when the crankshaft big-end journals have been reground.
What does 0.040in undersize mean?
0.040in undersize means these big-end bearings suit a crankshaft reground 0.040in smaller than standard on the con rod journals. Only order this size if your 2.25L crank has been machined 0.040in undersize, or the bearing clearance won't be correct.
Which engine does this bearing set fit?
This 0.040in con rod bearing set fits the Land Rover Series III 2.25L four-cylinder petrol engine. It's supplied as one set covering all the big-end positions for that engine.
When are con rod bearings replaced?
Con rod bearings are typically replaced during an engine rebuild or when the crankshaft is reground. Worn big-end bearings often cause a knocking noise and low oil pressure. Match the bearing undersize to the reground journal for the correct fit.
