Frequently asked questions

What is the ETC8442 front camshaft bearing for?
The ETC8442 is the front camshaft bearing for the 2.5L four-cylinder diesel and petrol engines. It supports the front journal of the camshaft within the cylinder block, keeping the camshaft aligned and providing its running surface on the Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic.
What is the alternative code for this camshaft bearing?
The ETC8442 cross-references to BR 1386B, which covers the same front camshaft bearing. Either code fits the 2.5L four-cylinder engine. Confirm you're replacing the front bearing specifically, as camshaft bearing positions aren't always interchangeable.
When should the camshaft bearing be replaced?
Replace the ETC8442 camshaft bearing during an engine rebuild, or if the camshaft shows wear or play at the front journal. A worn bearing typically causes low oil pressure and camshaft noise. It's usually renewed as a matter of course when the block is stripped.
