Land Rover Part Number: STC3358 - Upper Timing Chain
STC3358 is an upper timing chain fitted to the timing system of the 2.5 Diesel BMW M51 engine in the Range Rover P38. It sits within the upper section of the timing cover and transmits rotation from the crankshaft to the camshafts, working with tensioners and guide rails to set camshaft phase so intake and exhaust valves open and close at the correct points in the engine cycle. Wear, elongation or damage to the chain can alter timing accuracy, may produce abnormal noise from the timing area and can affect engine running. Replacement is a timed-chain service task and commonly involves inspection or replacement of the associated tensioners, guide rails and sprocket set where applicable.
