Land Rover Part Number: 277388 - Timing Chain Adjuster - 2.25 Petrol
277388 is a timing chain adjuster for the 2.25L 4-cylinder petrol engine. It is fitted to the timing chain and spring tensioner assembly inside the timing cover and takes up slack to maintain correct chain tension. Working with the spring tensioner and chain guide, the adjuster limits chain movement that can alter camshaft timing, compensates for normal chain elongation and thermal movement, and helps reduce accelerated wear on chain links and sprockets.
