Frequently asked questions

What is the 2.25L con rod bearing set?
The con rod bearing set is the big-end bearing shells for the 2.25L four-cylinder engine. They sit between the connecting rod big-ends and the crankshaft crankpins, carrying combustion and inertia loads as the pistons drive the crank. Supplied as a complete set for all cylinders.
What does the .010 size mean on these con rod bearings?
The .010 marking means these big-end bearings are 0.010 inch undersize, for crankpins reground 0.010 inch undersize. Fit them only if your crankshaft has been ground to that size. A crank on standard journals needs standard-size shells.
Which vehicles does this con rod bearing set fit?
This con rod bearing set fits the 2.25L four-cylinder engine in the Series 2, 2A and 3 (1958-1985) and the Defender (1983-1990). It covers the petrol engine, with diesel also listed for the Series. Confirm your engine is the 2.25L before ordering.
When should the con rod bearings be replaced?
Con rod bearings are usually renewed during an engine rebuild or when the crankshaft is reground. Worn big-end shells typically cause a knocking noise under load and falling oil pressure. If ignored, they can seize on the crankpin, so they're replaced as a full set.
