Jaguar V8 Timing Chain Kit

By Nita McKinney


Installing a Jaguar V8 timing chain kit can be easily done. The parts can be purchased on the Internet for much lower prices than going to an autobody shop. But it is vital to know what you need to make a wise purchase. Those who seek to install this on their own, rather than hiring a mechanic, should know what they are doing. But inexperienced individuals should hire a mechanic for this type of installation.

There are many aspects regarding this type of installation. This mechanical installation directly affects the engine of the car so it is very important to know what you are doing. Most cars have 4-stroke gas engines.

The combustion process consists of the car's power, engine compression, and the exhaust stroke. Mechanical timing consists of the interaction between the camshaft and crankshaft rotations. Whenever this does not function correctly, the car's engine will not run properly.

These mechanical parts are the cause to the connection between the crankshaft and camshaft. These parts are not immediately detectable when the hood is open. These parts are hidden beneath special covers that keep these parts safe from damage. Debris should never be able to get on to these components.

These parts must be installed correctly or the engine compression will be negatively affected. This can cause severe engine damage which is extremely costly to repair. If the crankshaft and camshaft are allowed to timed out, the engine will not operate correctly. It will not matter how much power it gets, the engine will not operate properly.

This part looks like a bicycle chain. It is a mechanical part that can hold up for a very long time. Some car manufacturers suggest replacing it according to the mileage or at certain time intervals. It is also said that this part can last up to the life of the vehicle. The life of the part depends on the model and make of the car. If it breaks, then it will severely damage surrounding engine parts.

This part has special tensioners that keep it from moving around. The tensioners are usually controlled by the engine oil pressure. It this gets too low the tensioners will lose pressure causing the vehicle to malfunction. This will result in poor engine performance and this part will eventually fail to operate. It is important to make sure the car is properly maintained and that the oil levels are regularly checked.

If this part malfunctions, several things can occur. Should this happen while the vehicle is moving at slow speeds, then this part tends to shift around under the cover. This malfunction usually does not cause any major damage to the engine. Installing a new part will fix this problem. But if the part breaks apart during high speeds, it will shift rapidly beneath the cover ruining the other parts near the engine.

A number of mechanics specialize in Jaguar V8 timing chain kit installation. Adhering to maintenance schedules is extremely important. The oil and spark plugs will need to be changed regularly. It is essential to locate a good mechanic to do this job. There are car owners that choose to do this job on their own. However, if it is installed incorrectly, the engine will be destroyed.
