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

The secondary chain drives the camshafts of one cylinder bank from the intermediate sprocket, working with the primary chain to keep valve timing synchronised with the crankshaft. A stretched chain or worn tensioner lets the timing drift and produces rattle on start-up; the secondary chains are normally renewed together with their tensioners and guides during a timing overhaul.
Fitment Notes JAGUAR — Secondary timing chain, AJ-V8 3.2L & 4.0L (NA & supercharged). Fits S-Type (X200) 1999-2008, XJ (X308), XK8 (X100).

Frequently asked questions

What is the EAZ1286-G and what does it do?
The EAZ1286-G is a secondary timing chain for the Jaguar AJ-V8 3.2 and 4.0-litre petrol engine, naturally aspirated and supercharged. It drives the camshafts of one cylinder bank from the intermediate sprocket, working with the primary chain to keep valve timing synchronised with the crankshaft.
Which Jaguar models does this secondary timing chain fit?
This secondary timing chain fits the Jaguar S-Type (X200) 1999-2008, XJ (X308) and XK8 (X100) with the AJ-V8 3.2 or 4.0-litre engine. The V8 typically uses two secondary chains, one per bank, so check how many your job needs. Confirm the engine variant by VIN.
What are the signs a secondary timing chain needs replacing?
A worn secondary timing chain typically rattles on start-up and can let valve timing drift on the affected bank. On these AJ-V8 engines the chains, tensioners and guides are usually renewed together during a timing overhaul, since a failure can cause valve-to-piston contact.
Should both secondary chains and the primary be done together?
Typically yes. The Jaguar V8 runs a primary chain plus two secondary chains, and they wear at a similar rate. Renewing the full set with tensioners and guides in one job is the usual approach, rather than replacing a single chain and reusing worn partners.
