Frequently asked questions

What is the 247709 camshaft and what does it do?

The 247709 camshaft drives the valve train on the Land Rover 2.25L 4-cylinder petrol engine. Running in the cylinder block and turned by the timing gear, it opens and closes the intake and exhaust valves through the cam followers and pushrods. On this overhead-valve engine it also drives the distributor and oil pump.

How do I confirm this camshaft fits my engine?

This camshaft fits the 2.25L petrol engine in the Land Rover Series 2, Series 3 and early Defender. There's an engine-number ceiling: it fits up to engine no. 36123671B / 36407285B. Check the number stamped on your block against that limit before ordering, as later 2.25L engines typically used a different camshaft.

Why do these camshafts wear out on the 2.25L petrol engine?

Camshaft wear on the 2.25L petrol engine usually shows up as flattened cam lobes, which reduces valve lift and causes rough running, low power and tappet noise. Worn lobes often go hand in hand with worn cam followers, so both are typically inspected together. A worn camshaft needs replacing to restore correct valve lift.

Is fitting this camshaft a DIY job?

Fitting this camshaft is typically a specialist job on the 2.25L petrol engine. The timing cover, timing gears and cam followers usually have to come off to withdraw the camshaft from the front of the block, and valve timing must be reset on reassembly. Most home mechanics will need engine tools and the workshop manual.
