Land Rover Part Number: LGC000310 - Cylinder Head Camshaft - Td5
LGC000310 is a cylinder head camshaft for the Td5 engine. Fitted to the cylinder head, the camshaft converts crankshaft rotation into the timed opening and closing of the inlet and exhaust valves via lobes that act on followers or rocker arms, controlling valve timing and thus combustion efficiency and overall engine performance. This camshaft interfaces with the timing chain assembly and associated tensioners, so correct alignment during installation is necessary to maintain engine timing. It is specified for Td5 applications used in Land Rover Defender and Discovery 2 models.

Frequently Asked Questions
The camshaft translates crankshaft rotation into the timed movement of the inlet and exhaust valves by means of lobes acting on followers or rocker arms. Proper valve timing is essential for correct air intake and exhaust scavenging; worn cam lobes or shaft journals can alter valve lift and timing and lead to valve-train noise or irregular idle. This camshaft is used in Td5 cylinder heads and works with the timing chain and tensioners, so accurate alignment during installation is important.
