Land Rover Part Number: LR002551 - Timing Chain and Tensioner Kit
LR002551 is a Timing Chain and Tensioner Kit fitted to the timing gear of the 3.2L Petrol Si6 engine. The kit provides the specified timing chain and tensioner components that transfer crankshaft rotation to the camshafts and synchronise valve timing to ensure correct inlet and exhaust events; the tensioner maintains chain tension to prevent slack, reduce noise and avoid accelerated wear of sprockets and guides. Where included, associated sprockets and guide components position the chain along the correct drive path within the cylinder head and timing cover assembly. Correct condition of the timing chain and tensioner is critical for valve timing accuracy on the 3.2L DOHC MPI I6 engine; worn components can cause noisy operation, increased wear of sprockets and guides and potential timing variation under load, so routine inspection during major service or when symptoms appear is standard practice.
