Cam Follower - a roller-type tappet operating in the engine valve train, between the camshaft and the pushrod.

It rides on the camshaft lobe and transfers the lobe's profile into linear motion, driving the pushrod that actuates the rocker arm to open the valve. The roller contact face reduces friction and wear at the cam-to-follower interface compared with a flat-faced tappet.

Supplied as a single follower; renew as a matched set with the camshaft where lobe or roller wear is present.

Frequently asked questions

What is the ERR561Z cam follower and what does it do?
The ERR561Z is a roller-type cam follower (tappet) in the engine valve train. It rides on the camshaft lobe and turns the lobe profile into linear motion, driving the pushrod that opens the valve. The roller face reduces friction and wear at the cam contact compared with a flat tappet. It's supplied as a single follower.
Which engines and models does the ERR561Z fit?
The ERR561Z fits the Land Rover Defender (2.25 and 2.5 petrol, 2.5 diesel, 200Tdi and 300Tdi), Discovery 1 (200Tdi and 300Tdi), Series 2 and 3 (2.25 litre), and Range Rover Classic (200Tdi, from 1992). On the Discovery 2 Td5 the same part is used as a cylinder-head dowel rather than a follower.
How many ERR561Z cam followers are needed for an engine?
The ERR561Z is sold as a single follower, so a full set depends on the engine. The four-cylinder 2.25, 2.5, 200Tdi and 300Tdi engines typically use eight followers, one per valve. Order the quantity your engine needs. It's common to renew all followers together when the camshaft is changed.
When should the ERR561Z be replaced?
Replace the ERR561Z when the roller shows pitting, flat spots, play, or valve-train noise. Worn followers typically go hand in hand with camshaft lobe wear, so renew them as a matched set with the camshaft where lobe or roller wear is present. Fitting worn followers to a new cam usually ruins the new cam quickly.
