Land Rover Part Number: LR002976 - Timing Chain Tensioner
LR002976 is a timing chain tensioner. Fitted to the 3.2L DOHC MPI Petrol I6 (Si6), it applies and regulates tension to the timing chain within the timing gear to maintain correct engagement between crankshaft and camshaft sprockets. Correct tension reduces chain rattle, vibration and accelerated wear of guides and sprockets; over time the tensioner can lose damping or seize, allowing excessive chain movement that can cause audible noise and accelerated component wear. Replacement of the tensioner is part of timing gear repair where slack or noise is present and when performing related timing chain or guide work on the 3.2L Si6 engine.
