Frequently asked questions

What does the ETC6850L camshaft do?
The ETC6850L 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 low-compression 3.5L V8 petrol engine.
Which 3.5L V8 does the ETC6850L fit?
The ETC6850L is the low-compression camshaft, matched to the 28D/29D/30D engine specification (8.25:1/8.13:1) 3.5L V8. It fits the Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic (1970-1994) 3.5L V8. Confirm your engine's compression spec, as the high-compression V8 uses a different camshaft.
How do I confirm I need the low-compression camshaft?
The ETC6850L suits the low-compression 3.5L V8, identified by the 28D, 29D or 30D engine specification (8.25:1 or 8.13:1). High-compression engines use a different camshaft. Check the engine number prefix stamped on your block before ordering, since the wrong camshaft alters valve timing.
Is the ETC6850L available under other part numbers?
The ETC6850L is also referenced as ERC2003 for this low-compression 3.5L V8 camshaft. A part supplied under that cross-reference fits the same 28D/29D/30D engine application, so it's interchangeable for the Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic.
