Primary Timing Chain for the timing drive of the 3.2 and 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine, in naturally aspirated and supercharged forms.

The primary chain transmits drive from the crankshaft to the camshaft drive, keeping the camshafts synchronised with the crankshaft so the valves open and close at the correct point in each cycle. A stretched chain or worn tensioner lets the timing drift and produces rattle on start-up; the chain is normally renewed together with its tensioner and guides during a timing overhaul.
Fitment Notes JAGUAR — Primary timing chain, 3.2L & 4.0L V8 petrol (NA & supercharged). Fits S-Type (X200) 1999-2008, XJ (X308), XK8 (X100).

Frequently asked questions

What is the EAZ1269-G and what does it do?
The EAZ1269-G is the primary timing chain for the Jaguar 3.2 and 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine, naturally aspirated and supercharged. It transmits drive from the crankshaft to the camshaft drive, keeping the camshafts synchronised so valves open and close at the correct point in each cycle.
Which Jaguar models does this primary timing chain fit?
This primary timing chain fits the Jaguar S-Type (X200) 1999-2008, XJ (X308) and XK8 (X100) with the 3.2 or 4.0-litre V8. Use your VIN to confirm the exact engine variant before ordering, as V8 specifications changed across the range.
What are the signs the timing chain needs replacing?
A worn or stretched timing chain typically produces a rattle on start-up as the tensioner loses its grip. Left unchanged, the timing can drift and risk contact between valves and pistons on these V8 engines. It's usually renewed with its tensioner and guides.
Should the primary and secondary chains be replaced together?
Typically yes. On the Jaguar V8 the primary and secondary timing chains, tensioners and guides wear together, so they're usually renewed as a set during a timing overhaul rather than singly. Replacing one and reusing worn partners often means going back in soon after.
