Main Bearing Set - a set of crankshaft main bearing shells for the Rover V8 petrol engine.

The main bearings are the split shell bearings that carry the crankshaft in the cylinder block, seating between the main journals and the block and main bearing caps to provide the hydrodynamic oil-film surface on which the crankshaft rotates.

This set is machined to +0.010in oversize, to suit a crankshaft whose main journals have been reground 0.010in undersize. Confirm the crankshaft regrind size before ordering so the bearing shells match the journals.

Frequently asked questions

What is this main bearing set for?

This main bearing set is the full set of crankshaft main bearing shells for the Rover V8 petrol engine. The shells seat between the crankshaft main journals and the block and main bearing caps, providing the oil-film surface the crankshaft rotates on. It suits the 3.5L Rover V8.

What does the +0.010 size mean?

The +0.010 marking means the bearing shells are machined 0.010in oversize to suit a crankshaft whose main journals have been reground 0.010in undersize. Standard journals need standard bearings, so this set is only correct for a crank already reground to 0.010 under.

How do I know if I need the +0.010 bearings?

You need the +0.010 set only if your crankshaft's main journals have been reground 0.010in undersize, usually stamped on the crank or noted on the machine shop's report. If the crank is standard or reground to a different size, this set won't match, so confirm the regrind before ordering.

Which engines does this main bearing set fit?

This set fits the Rover V8 petrol engine in the Land Rover Defender (1983-1994), Series 3 Stage 1 V8, Discovery 1 (3.5L and 3.9L) and Range Rover Classic. It's matched to the V8 bottom end, so it applies to the engine rather than a specific body style.

Is this a set for the whole engine or a single bearing?

This is a complete set of main bearing shells for the Rover V8, not a single bearing, covering all the main journals in one kit. Main bearings are renewed as a full set during a bottom-end rebuild so every journal gets a matched shell and even oil clearance.
