Timing Tool Set for JLR V6 Diesel Engines

Overview

This is a purpose-built timing tool set engineered specifically for 2.7L and 3.0L V6 diesel engines found in Land Rover Discovery, Range Rover Sport, and Jaguar S-Type platforms. The kit enables precise crankshaft and camshaft positioning during timing belt replacement and valve adjustment work—critical operations that demand absolute accuracy to avoid catastrophic engine damage. If your shop handles these platforms regularly, this kit is essential. For shops working across multiple engine families, consider pairing this with precision timing tools for smaller displacement diesel engines to maximize your service capacity.

Key Components & Features

• Camshaft Locking Levers (2x): Zinc-plated forged construction with cylindrical locating bosses and forked attachment points. Prevents camshaft rotation during belt installation and valve timing adjustment.
• Flywheel Locking Tool: Secures the crankshaft in TDC position, eliminating risk of unexpected rotation during critical procedures.
• Camshaft Gear Setting Tool: Knurled adapter block for precise gear alignment and positioning.
• Alignment & Locating Pins (3x): Long knurled shafts with splined ends for accurate crankshaft and camshaft position confirmation.
• Protective Carrying Case: Blue molded plastic case with foam-lined compartments keeps all components organized and protected on the job site.

• Complete Solution: One kit covers both 2.7L and 3.0L variants, simplifying inventory management for multi-platform shops.

Why Technicians Choose This Kit

Timing belt replacement on JLR V6 diesels requires simultaneous control of crankshaft and dual camshafts. This kit's camshaft locking levers prevent gear slip during installation, and the flywheel tool eliminates guesswork on crankshaft position. The result: precision alignment, first-time success, and no risk of bent valves or stripped timing marks. Valve adjustment during belt service is also possible, adding value to each job.
