Land Rover Part Number: LR022518 - Crankshaft Main Bearing
LR022518 is a crankshaft main bearing fitted to the crankshaft, pistons and bearings assembly on 2.2L diesel engines. The bearing supports the crankshaft on its main journals and forms the sliding surface between the crankshaft and the engine block, working with the engine oil film to control friction and prevent metal-to-metal contact. Correct bearing clearance directly affects oil pressure and bearing life; excessive wear or incorrect clearance can cause increased crankshaft endplay, bearing noise and reduced oil pressure, which may lead to further engine damage. When replacing main bearings, matching the bearing size and orientation to the crankshaft journals is required to restore manufacturer clearances and correct rotating assembly operation. Use the compatibility data below to confirm fitment against your V.I.N.
