Part Number Help

I've got one part that I'm trying to source for my 2007 4.2 Supercharged but am having problems locating it.

On the front of the cylinder heads there is a metal dowel that sticks out and the timing chain guide locates onto it. It's pictured in the parts list but doesn't have a reference number beside it.

Unfortunately the new heads that I've bought that come complete with the valves, guides, collets, valve springs, etc. but they don't have this dowel fitted.

I've checked the parts catalogue for the 4.4 AJV8 Discovery 3 & RRS, 4.4 AJV8 Range Rover, 4.2 Supercharged Range Rover & RRS. It's pictured in all of them but doesn't have a part number beside it. The Jaguar catalogues don't even show it.

I've had a go at removing the ones from my old head but they're stuck like sh!t to a blanket.

I've spoken to Rob at Duckworths Land Rover too and he's drawing a blank. Before I look to order some silver steel to make them, does anybody else have any ideas?

Thanks,

I know it's not listed for your engine but does LXU100050 look anything like it?

That one appears to be threaded into the head. This one I think is just an interference fit. 2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather

Having copied and enlarged the spares pic you posted, when you look at the details, all obvious threaded parts are colour coded / detailed in the threaded area, whilst that pin is not. The engineer part of me thinks that you are correct and that this is an 'interference fit' pin.

The only other alternative to mind is that this is a 'Spring pin' or so called 'C lock pin' ( There several names ) Basically a hollow pin with a slot cut in the entire length of the pin, and made of spring steel, very commonly used as dowel pins in various applications.

Examples of pins and kits available, as in the below - Hope this helps Thumbs Up

This is definitely a solid pin as I’ve tried to extract it from the old cylinder heads.

I’ve just ordered a length of 6mm silver steel tonight to turn a couple of them. Now I’ve got the steel arriving I’ll be a bit more brutal trying to remove one of the old ones so that I can measure it.

I bought the silver steel to do the dowels last night but have been speaking to Automotive Comp in North Wales who are doing my valve clearances. They're going to make 2 dowels and fit them to the heads for me before I collect them Smile

One job less for me to do when I get them home.

Panic over.
