Connecting Rod Small-End Bush for the Td5 2.5L five-cylinder turbo diesel engine.

The bush is pressed into the small end of the connecting rod and forms the bearing surface for the gudgeon pin, carrying the oscillating load between the piston and the rod. It is replaced when a rod is reconditioned to restore the correct pin fit.

Frequently asked questions

What does the connecting rod small-end bush do?
The connecting rod small-end bush is pressed into the small end of the con rod on the Td5 2.5L diesel and forms the bearing surface for the gudgeon pin. It carries the oscillating load between the piston and the connecting rod.
How many small-end bushes are needed for the Td5?
The Td5 is a five-cylinder engine, so a full bottom-end rebuild typically needs five small-end bushes, one per connecting rod. They're usually fitted as a set when the rods are reconditioned, so check how this item is sold.
When is the con rod bush replaced?
The con rod small-end bush is renewed when a connecting rod is reconditioned, to restore the correct gudgeon pin fit. A worn bush typically causes a small-end knock, so it's replaced during an engine rebuild rather than in isolation.
Which Land Rovers does this bush fit?
This con rod small-end bush fits the Defender (1998-2006) and Discovery 2 with the 2.5L Td5 five-cylinder turbo diesel. Confirm your engine is the Td5 before ordering, as other diesel engines use different rods and bushes.
