Frequently asked questions

What is the ETC4246 special bolt used for?
The ETC4246 special bolt retains the tappets in the cylinder block as part of the camshaft and tappet assembly. It's a specific-design fastener that secures the tappets against the camshaft, used on Land Rover 2.25L and 2.5L diesel, 200TDi and 300TDi engines.
Can I use a standard bolt instead of the ETC4246?
No, the ETC4246 is a specific-design fastener rather than a general-purpose bolt, so a standard bolt isn't a like-for-like substitute. It's shaped to retain the tappets correctly against the camshaft, so use the correct part to keep the tappet assembly located as designed.
Which Land Rover models and engines take this bolt?
This bolt fits the 2.25L petrol and diesel, 2.5L naturally aspirated and turbo diesel, 200TDi and 300TDi engines. That covers Series 2/3, Defender (1983-2006), Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic. Confirm your engine before ordering, as it's tied to the tappet assembly.
