Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC418820 piston for?
The RTC418820 is a piston for the Land Rover 2.25L petrol engine, running in the cylinder bore as part of the piston and connecting-rod assembly. It's supplied at standard bore size and fits Series 2 and 3 and earlier Defender petrol applications.
Which 2.25 petrol engines does this piston fit?
This piston suits all 3-bearing engines (prefix 901 and 904), all Suffix-A 5-bearing engines (prefix 361) and the 8:1 compression-ratio 5-bearing engines from suffix B onwards. It does not fit the 7:1 low-compression 5-bearing engine (prefix 364), which takes a different piston.
What bore size is this piston supplied at?
This piston is supplied at standard bore size, suited to an engine on its original bore or one machined back to standard. If your 2.25 petrol block has already been rebored oversize, you'll need the matching oversize piston instead. Confirm your bore size before ordering.
How many pistons are needed for a 2.25 petrol rebuild?
A full 2.25L petrol rebuild typically needs four pistons, one per cylinder, since it's a four-cylinder engine. Pistons are usually replaced as a matched set so weights and compression stay even across all cylinders.
