Timing Marks and Timing Chain Installation On A Range Rover and Land Rover 5.0L Engine 

Excellent video. You do a wonderful job at explaining the process. Very clear and precise. Made my life easy for changing my own at home.

Ive been a mechanic 25 years. You are a great tech. Thorough. Explain well. Quality is your priority. Great job man!

More complete than many other videos where you don't see how to install the guides. Thanks a lot for this !

Excellent video my friend! Good clear instructions, good video clarity 10/10!

Make the video better??? This is, by FAR, the VERY BEST I've seen. THANK YOU for making it & posting it!!!!!!!!!!

You seem very knowledgable and this video is fantastic! I am a female and know nothing about engines but have had a rather big problem with a garage that seized the engine of my Range Rover whilst repairing the timing chain. Would you be willing to look at the videos they sent me? They dismantled the whole engine during the repair and then handed the car back with the engine parts in the rear of the car!

You are an “A List” Top Tech. Your videos can be used for tech classes. Hats off for being one of the best in the industry. I’m a new subscriber and can’t wait to see your next video masterpiece. Thank you.

Hello sir I'm from Pakistan and I preparing to go dabai really appreciate that you telling everything about it I hope your videos will be useful for every mechanic lots of love from Pakistan ❤️💖

This was my incredibly informative. I just pulled my valve covers and found my chains are about 4 links away from the timing marks, so either someone did the chains poorly, or I have a busy week ahead of me.

Excellent videos Thank you

I did head gaskets on a 2011 range rover sport 5.0 supercharged. Only special tools I used were the counter hold for the crank pulley. Just marked the chains in one particular spot and finagled the cams off without pulling the phasers.. worked out better than expected. Worst head gasket job I’ve ever done though, took a lot of labor time. Also replaced chain tensioners while in there, 80k miles. Thanks for the great video 👍

I’m doing one now and keeping my fingers crossed that it didn’t bend a valve when it jumped time. Very helpful!

Awesome , very good and accurate job , timing chain needs a professional technician , here you are the one . Thanks

I just replaced the Timing Chains, Guides, Tensioners, Cam Phasers, VCT Solenoids, and the Oil Pump on a Ford 5.4 Liter 3 Valve Engine. It's similar to the Land Rover Timing Chain Job. I'm in the market for a 2012 Land Rover LR 4. I know the Timing Chain Guides were upgraded by Land Rover because they were very problematic. Your video helped me to see where the Timing Marks are for the LR 4. I really appreciate the time you took for me to complete the Land Rover Timing Job successfully.

What a job that is!! Special tools and all. Glad you are able to perform that work. Take Care

Those camshafts, phasers, valves, crankshaft, and chains must be perfectly aligned. The tools were amazing. That is precision work and your customers must be glad they found you. Imagine the cost at the dealership for that job?

Clean and clear instruction

great video. this is the best video of this motor on youtube

My professional engineer 🤝

Awesome video watched it several times. Helped us out allot. Question how many rotations did you do until the chain and marks came back to place. Every other video just says 2 crank rotations and check cam timing on the back but never mentions to recheck the marks.

Phenomenal video. Thanks for taking the time to make it!

Amazing job my bro keep up the good job...

thts good videoo good explain

Fantastic video. Very informative 👍👍👍

Excellent Work Bro. Is this the same for the 2017 5.0 supercharged..

Buen trabajo amigo gracias por el curso 😊👌🏿

What a pain in the butt job. Thanks for the video pal.

Very informative video thank you. One question if you don't mind. Which phasers upon re install need slack removal? Passenger side slack removed from exhaust cam and driver side ( us spec ) slack removed from intake cam? I notice the phasers are not keyed. Thank you.

Awesome work. Great 👍🏼 mechanic technician!

Full% awesome explanation .level up

hi how are you> i was wondering if there is anyway you could tell me where to find the part number on the camshafts. i think i might of swapped the intake and exhaust by accident . Thank you

Quick question. I've done this process exactly how the manual says, with the tools needed. The only problem i have is when i turn the engine twice the chain marks are behind a tooth on both sides equally. Is this normal or is something wrong?

Great video!

Good job

Hi Is it possible, can you give me all the reinstall tourqe specs for the 3.0 2016 rover? In the workshop manual I'm only seeing the 5.0 Thanks alot Much appreciated

time 15:35 in the video you spin the engine to check the marks line up again. How many times did you have to spin the engine? 19 teeth on the crank sprocket and 140 teeth on the chain. It takes 140 revolutions of the crank for the timing marks on the chain to line back up again.

I don't think cylinder 1 is at Top Dead Center when the crankshaft key way is at the 6 o'clock position. I think it is somewhere Before TDC. My understanding is Cylinder 1 is the forward most cylinder on the passenger bank. When I align my crank key way to 6 o'clock, reluctor/flywheel lock installed, and the cams to the horizontal position with the square mark at the bottom (locked with the tool) cylinder one is not at TDC quite yet, verified with a endoscope camera. Am I correct or is Deo in this video correct? Other videos I've watched don't mention TDC. I haven't found TDC in the manual either.

Very good video.

2011 with the 5.0 cranks no start timing chain ?? looking to buy great deal 110 thousand miles great price $1300 is it worth it thanks!

Thank you for everything you do . I just changed my jaguar xj supercharged timing chain and i turn engine right side. twice only more than that the bolt is losing. i turn the engine left side. more than 10 times but sometimes a little bit harder . and air coming out sound like puff... from enjecter holes this is normal ? please ........ thank you

Does anyone know about the reference stamp on the rear face of the camshafts? I am told there are two sets on each and since the alignment tools can be installed 180° out of time one of the reference numbers is suppoedly stamped and that is supposed to be in the upper most position before you install the cam tool.

Great job! What is the name of the tool that you used in the last part 16:52 i am trying hard to find it on ebay

Question: I have 2017 range rover sport 3.0. When I cold start. It warms up. But sometimes it Revs up to 3.5k or 3k. Like it isn't warm enough after the initial warm-up. Today I bought some mass air flow sensors. Hopefully that will work. A mechanic said that mines doesn't have a air injection pump. So it isn't that

Awesome video. I'm ready to tackle this job on my 3.0 jaguar due to loose chain noise coming from bank 1. Bank 2 sounds good but while I'm down there doesn't hurt to just do both side! My only thing was I kinda wish you'd of actually showed you taking the slack between the cams off. You don't loosen any bolts right? Just torque it to the right spec and it'll tighten it enough...?

How many hrs is this job and what’s the cost to do time chain?

What if TDC all marks good but crank shaf not @ 6 aclock

Question, what if the phaser notches aren't on the top visible side, but are on the bottom or side of the cam sprocket?

When you take the slack out of the chain with tool and torque wrench. Do you do the other side too?

Hi.. just want to ask how many rotation the engine need to line up the timing marks after you replaced the timing chain and tensioner to re- check your timing? Or i don’t have to a-line up it again?

when you say smoothly, you still feel the compression at each stroke? thanks!

Why when the crankshaft key ways at the 6 O clock position, no. 1 pistons not at TDC? It's like 1/2 inch down in the bore. 🤷‍♂️ cylinder volume maybe. Had a friend who's done the job 4 times, and kept getting correlation codes, and yes he replaced all 4 phasers.

I don't have spark on November one and four and three on right hend side the coil packs are good can eny one help me on range rover 2013 5.00

Aj133 engine?

Please sir after setting up the timing when I turn the engine right round it won't set with the timing marks anymore what might be the cause sir

James here- Great job very easy to understand! Question, I have all new parts, when I turn the engine over it is smooth but didnt notice the timing marks till after 6-8 turns. And they were not lined up, looked like off by a link... the chains are tight! Could one or several of the phasers be bad?? Thanks for any help would be great,, James

How do you set the timing with out any special tool

Anyone recommend a place to buy the timing chain

thank you

👍🏾👍🏾

How much cost for fix Timing chain

can you show the last special tool to slack the cam with 30nm

How many hours to do this job?

How much did that cost and what are the labor hours for that job

Do you have to change the aculator?

At what miles should it be changed ?

Hi

K Diagnostic, This is an excellent video and training piece you’ve done. I stumbled on it as I was looking for one for a 3.0 V6 supercharged engine for a RangeRover 2015. Who’d you say the same applies on the V6 engine? Mine just blow the gaskets from a major coolant leak incident. Apparently had been leaking from the rear crossover (heater manifold) pipe but was not noticed until we had a major one from the front crossover as well. I did the replacements in my garage but only realized the gaskets are gone after I finished the work and the vehicle failed to start due to loss of compression. Would like to work with you on it, if you don’t mind.

Pls what’s this screw called 4:51

Did you take off the radiator?

Where did you buy your tool kit you used?

Where are you located I need you to fix my range.

What was the labor time on this job

Is there anyway to contact you to maybe pick your brain a bit about this? I’m almost ready to crack my timing covers open and begin this job and could use a little clarity on a few specifics before I do. Thank you for the video!

did you have to load the tensioner pushing chain outward ?

Is there any way I can reach you by phone? I have some concerns with my engine. I’m located in Maryland as well.

Hello sir! Great video! I decided to do a head gasket and complete timing component replacement job on my 2011 Jaguar XF 5.0 only after watching this and a few other videos. I'm at a point in the job where I'm confused. I have both heads torqued down and the timing perfectly set up. I just rotated the engine two full revolutions as required. I have both camshaft alignment tools back in place and they both went in perfectly. My issue is I assumed after rotating the engine two times and making sure the two camshafts on each side were still in alignment are the yellow and white painted chain links supposed to also line up with the timing marks just as before I rotated the engine two full rotations or is it normal for the chain alignment marks to now not match those marks on the phasers and black plastic rail? The engine rotated smoothly with no resistance when I did rotate two times? Thank you!

Great video Sir! how can I contact you?

I like to no bot

Please write or say in the beginning of video about the problem or issue leading to tim chain replacement & at what mileage. Its a good practice to write the intro for the video...takes just 5min of your time🤷‍♂️

looks like a ford triton
