Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC299330K connecting rod bearing set?
The RTC299330K is a connecting rod big-end bearing set for the 2.5 litre four-cylinder Land Rover engine, supplied 0.030 inch oversize. The shells fit between the crankshaft journals and the connecting rod big ends, giving a lubricated running surface and maintaining the oil clearance that supports the bottom end.
What does the 0.030 inch oversize marking mean?
The 0.030 inch oversize marking means the RTC299330K shells are made to a non-standard size and must match how your crankshaft has been machined. Fit them only when your engine builder confirms the crank suits this size, as the wrong grade gives incorrect big-end clearance.
When are the big-end bearings replaced?
The big-end bearings are replaced during a 2.5 litre engine rebuild or when worn, typically flagged by low-speed knocking, dropping oil pressure or bearing material in the oil. They are renewed as a complete set to restore even clearance across all the big ends.
Which engines does the RTC299330K fit?
The RTC299330K fits the 2.5 petrol, 2.5 diesel, 2.5 TD, 200TDI and 300TDI engines in the Defender (1983-2006), Discovery 1 200TDI/300TDI and Range Rover Classic 200TDI/300TDI (1986-1994). Match it to your crankshaft's machined size before fitting.
