Land Rover Part Number: LR002440 - Timing Chain Tensioner
LR002440 is a timing chain tensioner fitted to the timing gear of the 3.6L V8 32V DOHC EFI diesel engine. The component applies and maintains tension on the timing chain to reduce slack and support accurate valve timing, interfacing with the chain and guide surfaces inside the timing cover area. Consistent chain tension helps prevent uneven wear on sprockets and chain links and supports stable valve timing under varying engine loads. When replacing the tensioner, check the condition of the associated guides and the timing chain for wear or damage as part of the same repair procedure.
