Frequently asked questions

What does the crankshaft key do?
The crankshaft key locates the timing gear and crankshaft pulley on the crankshaft nose, fixing their angular position relative to the shaft. It transmits drive and keeps the timing alignment correct, so the camshaft stays in phase with the crankshaft on these 4-cylinder engines.
Which engines and models use this crankshaft key?
This key fits the 2.25L and 2.5L 4-cylinder petrol and diesel engines up to the 200 TDi, used on the Land Rover Series II and III, Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic. On Discovery 1 the 200 TDi application runs from VIN LA081991. Check your VIN to confirm.
Should the crankshaft key be replaced during timing or pulley work?
It's good practice to fit a new key whenever you've had the crankshaft pulley or timing gear off. The key is small and inexpensive, and a worn or distorted one can let the pulley shift its timing position. Inspect the keyway in the crankshaft nose at the same time.
