This V8 petrol engine was first introduced by Jaguar in 1997 and
is still in use today. Land Rover also started to use the later
versions of the engine in 2005. There have been many
changes, both in engine capacity and components over the
years, but most of the basic procedures for checking and
adjusting engine timing, dis-mantling and assembly of the
front-end gears, timing chain, camshafts etc., applies across the
engine range.
The timing applications on early and later engines are covered
by the VS4980 Engine Setting/Locking Tool Kit.
Timing adjustment and overhaul applications involving the front
end, gears, timing chains etc., require removal of the front timing
chain cover, and to remove this, the crankshaft pulley must be
removed.
On most variants the pulley bolt has a very high torque
specification and removal and installation of this pulley requires
the Special Remover and Holding Tool in Set VS4985 –
Associated Tool.
IMPORTANT:
References made to “left-hand bank” and “right-
hand bank” within this Product Information, refers to the left or
right cylinder heads as viewed from the front of the engine - ie.
from the camshaft gears.

Checking valve timing
To check that the valve timing is correct, a Flywheel Locking
Tool must be inserted to ‘lock’ the flywheel (and therefore the
crankshaft), in timed position, and a Camshaft Setting Plate
must be able to be fixed in place across the ‘timing flats’ on
each bank
of camshafts and
rest fully
on the surface of the
cylinder head.
