Frequently asked questions

What does the primary timing chain guide do?
The primary timing chain guide (lower) guides the primary timing chain on the AJV8 petrol engine, keeping the chain aligned and controlling slack between the crankshaft and camshaft drive. It fits the 4.4L V8 EFI and 4.2L V8 Supercharged engines in the lower timing gear.
Where does the lower chain guide sit in the engine?
This guide sits in the lower timing gear at the front of the AJV8 engine, running along the primary timing chain. It's used on the Discovery 3, Range Rover L322 and Range Rover Sport with the 4.4 V8 EFI and 4.2 V8 Supercharged engines.
Why do timing chain guides fail on these V8 engines?
Timing chain guides wear because the guide face is constantly rubbed by the chain. As they wear the chain can rattle, especially at cold start, and worn guides are usually replaced together with the chain and tensioner on the AJV8 4.4 and 4.2 supercharged engines.
