Frequently asked questions

What does the ETC6849 camshaft do?
The ETC6849 is the valvetrain camshaft for the overhead-valve 3.5L V8. Driven from the crankshaft, its lobes act through the tappets, pushrods and rocker arms to open and close the inlet and exhaust valves in time with the engine. It's specified for the high-compression 3.5L V8 petrol engine.
Which 3.5L V8 does the ETC6849 fit, high or low compression?
The ETC6849 is the high-compression camshaft, matched to the 26D/27D engine specification (9.35:1) 3.5L V8. It fits the Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic (1970-1994) 3.5L V8. Check your engine's compression spec, since the low-compression V8 uses a different camshaft.
How do I know whether I need the high or low compression camshaft?
The ETC6849 suits the high-compression 3.5L V8, identified in Land Rover records by the 26D or 27D engine specification. Low-compression V8s use a different camshaft. Check the engine number prefix stamped on your block against the 26D/27D spec before ordering, as the wrong camshaft alters valve timing.
