Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC1730 con rod bearing set for?

RTC1730 is a standard-size big-end shell bearing set for the Land Rover 2.25L four-cylinder petrol engine, used in the Series 2, 2A, 3 and Defender. It provides the shell bearings that carry the connecting rods on the crankshaft journals.

What does 'standard size' mean — do I need to check before ordering?

Standard size means the bearings are dimensioned for a crankshaft with unworn journals within the original factory specification. If the crank has been reground to remove wear, undersize bearings are needed to suit the reduced journal diameter. Measure your crank journals before ordering.

What causes big-end bearing failure in the 2.25L petrol engine?

Big-end bearings typically fail due to low oil pressure, oil starvation from a blocked gallery, or incorrect oil viscosity. The main symptom is a rhythmic knock from the lower engine that rises and falls with engine speed. Prolonged running with low oil level is the most common cause on these engines.
