Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC299230 main bearing kit for?
The RTC299230 main bearing kit is the set of crankshaft shell bearings for the 2.5L 4-cylinder petrol and naturally aspirated diesel engine. It supports the crankshaft in the block main housings and maintains the running clearance on the engine bottom end.
What does 0.030 inch oversize mean on the RTC299230?
The 0.030 inch oversize RTC299230 kit suits a crankshaft reground 0.030 inch from standard journal size. Match the kit to your crankshaft's regrind, as a grade that doesn't match the journal gives incorrect oil clearance. Confirm your journal size before ordering.
