Land Rover Part Number: ERC7929 - Timing Chain - Rover V8
ERC7929 is a timing chain for Rover V8 engines. Fitted to the camshaft drive, this chain synchronises crankshaft and camshaft rotation on 3.5L and 4.0L Rover V8 engines. It forms part of the camshaft drive system and works with guides and tensioners to maintain correct chain alignment; over time the chain can lengthen and guides can wear, so replacing the chain reinstates correct cam/crank synchronisation and prevents timing variation that can affect running characteristics.
