Land Rover Part Number: LR000663 - Timing Chain
LR000663 is a timing chain fitted to the timing gear of 2.2L DW12 diesel engines on applicable Freelander 2 and Range Rover Evoque models. The chain transfers rotational motion from the crankshaft to the camshaft(s) and runs over sprockets with tensioners and guides to maintain correct valve timing. It is located within the timing gear assembly; wear, elongation or guide/tensioner failure can cause rough running, increased noise or, in severe cases, mechanical interference between valves and pistons. Replacement must match the vehicle's engine specification and be carried out with any associated tensioners and guides as required by the repair procedure.
