Frequently asked questions

What is the 2.25L main bearing set?
The 2.25L main bearing set is the crankshaft main bearing shells for the four-cylinder three-bearing engine. They support the crankshaft in the cylinder block and carry the loads passed from the pistons through the crank. Supplied as a complete set for the main journals.
What does the .010 undersize mean?
The .010 marking means these main bearings are machined 0.010 inch undersize, to suit a crankshaft that's been reground 0.010 inch undersize on its main journals. Fit them only if your crank has been ground to that size. A standard crank needs standard-size bearings.
Which engines use this main bearing set?
This main bearing set fits the 2.25L four-cylinder three-bearing engine used in the Defender and Series 2 and 3. It's specific to the 2.25L variants of that engine. Confirm your engine is the three-bearing 2.25L before ordering.
When do the crankshaft main bearings need replacing?
Main bearings are usually replaced during an engine rebuild or when the crank is reground. Worn main bearings typically cause a deep knocking noise and dropping oil pressure. Left unchanged, worn shells can damage the crankshaft journals, so they're renewed as a set.
