Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC262640 main bearing set used for?
The RTC262640 is a crankshaft main bearing set for the Land Rover Series III 2.25L petrol engine with the five-bearing crankshaft. It supports the crank in the block and is sized 0.040in for a reground crankshaft. It's supplied as one set per engine.
Which engine does this main bearing set fit?
This main bearing set fits the Land Rover Series III 2.25L petrol engine with the five-bearing crankshaft. Earlier three-bearing 2.25L engines use different bearings, so confirm yours is the five-bearing type before ordering.
What does the 0.040in size mean?
The 0.040in figure means these main bearings suit a crankshaft reground 0.040in from standard on the main journals. Match the bearing size to the size your crank was machined to, or the bearing clearance will be wrong.
When are main bearings replaced?
Main bearings are typically replaced during an engine rebuild or crankshaft regrind. Worn main bearings can cause low oil pressure and a deep knock. Matching the bearing size to the reground journal is essential for correct oil clearance.
