Frequently asked questions

What does the timing cover seal do on the AJV8 engine?
The timing cover seal seals the timing gear cover against the cylinder block, keeping engine oil inside the timing case. It's a rubber seal fitted to the 4.4L V8 EFI and 4.2L V8 Supercharged AJV8 petrol engines in the Discovery 3, Range Rover L322 and Range Rover Sport.
Where is this seal located on the engine?
This seal sits at the front of the AJV8 engine, on the joint between the timing gear cover and the cylinder block. It forms part of the timing case sealing on the Discovery 3, Range Rover L322 and Range Rover Sport 4.4 V8 and 4.2 supercharged engines.
Should the timing cover seal be replaced every time the cover comes off?
Yes, this rubber seal is typically renewed whenever the timing cover is removed. Once disturbed it usually won't reseat reliably, so fitting a fresh seal helps prevent oil leaks from the timing case on the AJV8 engine.
