Land Rover Part Number: ETC6850L - Camshaft - 3.5 Twin Carb V8 - 8.13:1 C/R
ETC6850L is a camshaft for the 3.5 Twin Carb V8 with an 8.13:1 compression ratio. Fitted within the engine valvetrain of detoxed 3.5L V8 Twin Carb engines, it controls valve timing and lift for both intake and exhaust events by converting crankshaft rotation into the timed linear motion required to operate the valves; lobe profiles and timing influence engine breathing, torque delivery and idle characteristics.
Use the compatibility data below to confirm fitment against your V.I.N.
During assembly the camshaft mounts in the cylinder head and works with followers, tappets or rockers and the timing drive (chain or gears) to maintain crank-to-cam synchronisation. Any replacement must match the original camshaft's profile, timing marks and end-float tolerance to preserve valve timing and avoid interference with pistons on interference engines. The part is appropriate for V8 Twin Carb 3.5L applications fitted to Defender and Discovery 1 models listed below.
