Land Rover Part Number: 247583 - Gudgeon Pin Bush
247583 is a pressed gudgeon pin bush fitted into the small end of connecting rods on 4-cylinder Land Rover diesel engines. It provides the bearing surface for the gudgeon (wrist) pin, controlling side-to-side movement and supporting the piston-to-rod connection. Excess wear in this bush increases small-end clearance and can cause piston slap, oil consumption and reduced performance; replace during engine overhaul or if wear is detected. When fitting, the bush should be pressed in with correct tooling, ensuring a clean bore and correct alignment.

- Defender (1987-2006) - 2.25 and 2.5 Diesel, up to 19J 2.5 DT (not Tdi)
