Cam Follower - a roller-type tappet operating in the engine valve train, between the camshaft and the pushrod.

It rides on the camshaft lobe and transfers the lobe's profile into linear motion, driving the pushrod that actuates the rocker arm to open the valve. The roller contact face reduces friction and wear at the cam-to-follower interface compared with a flat-faced tappet.

Supplied as a single follower; renew as a matched set with the camshaft where lobe or roller wear is present.

Frequently asked questions

What does the ERR561 cam follower do?
The ERR561 cam follower is a roller-type tappet in the engine valve train, sitting between the camshaft and the pushrod. It rides on the cam lobe and turns the lobe profile into the linear motion that drives the pushrod, opening the valve. The roller face cuts friction and wear at the cam interface.
Which engines use the ERR561 cam follower?
The ERR561 cam follower fits several Land Rover engines: the 2.25 and 2.5 petrol, the 2.5 naturally aspirated and turbo diesel, and the 200Tdi and 300Tdi. That covers the Defender, Series 2 and 3, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic. Check your exact engine before ordering.
How many ERR561 followers do I need?
You'll typically need one ERR561 follower per valve position, so a full set matches the number of followers in your engine. It's supplied as a single follower. Where cam or roller wear is present, renew the followers as a matched set with the camshaft rather than singly.
When should cam followers be replaced?
Cam followers are typically replaced when the roller or the cam lobe shows wear, often heard as a tapping or ticking from the valve train. Running worn followers accelerates camshaft wear, so it's usual to renew the followers and the camshaft together to protect the new parts.
