Timing Chain Blade is the tensioner blade in the engine's timing chain drive. It provides the curved, low-friction face that the timing chain bears against on its slack side.

Working against the hydraulic timing chain tensioner, the blade pivots to absorb slack and hold correct chain tension throughout the engine's speed range, preserving accurate camshaft-to-crankshaft timing and damping chain noise. Fitted to petrol V8 and supercharged V6 engines.

Frequently asked questions

What is the LR051013 timing chain blade?
This is the timing chain tensioner blade for the supercharged petrol V6 and V8 engines across several Land Rover and Range Rover models. The blade presses against the chain, working with the hydraulic tensioner to keep the timing chain tight.
Which engines does this tensioner blade fit?
It fits the 5.0L V8 (naturally aspirated and supercharged) and 3.0L V6 supercharged petrol engines, on models including the Discovery 4 and 5, Range Rover L322 and L405, Range Rover Sport L320 and L494, Velar and New Defender L663. Check your engine before ordering.
Should I replace the blade with the chain guides?
Yes, the tensioner blade is typically replaced together with the timing chain guides and chain during a timing job. Reusing an old blade with new chain parts can lead to early wear and chain noise, so it's usually done as a set.
What are the signs of a worn timing chain blade?
A worn tensioner blade typically lets the chain slacken, causing rattle on start-up or under load. On these supercharged petrol engines, chain noise is a common warning that the blade and guides need attention before timing is affected.
