Land Rover Part Number: ETC6849 - Camshaft - 3.5L V8 Twin Carb
ETC6849 is a Camshaft for the 3.5L V8 Twin Carb engine. Fitted within the valve train, the camshaft converts crankshaft rotation into linear movement at the valves via lobes that press on followers or rockers, controlling valve opening and closing to match ignition and fuel delivery timing. Correct cam profile and precise timing are essential for engine breathing, torque delivery and stable idle; wear or damage to lobes, journals or timing faces will alter valve timing and can cause power loss, unusual cam noise or accelerated valve-train wear. Replacement camshafts must match the engine specification and be installed and timed alongside compatible followers, springs and timing components to maintain correct valve events.
