{"product_id":"gasket-timing-cover-188616","title":"Gasket - Timing Cover for Discovery 3 (2005 – 2009) Lower – LR000319","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe lower timing cover gasket seals the joint between the timing cover and the engine block on Land Rover's AJ-V8 engine, preventing oil leaks at the front of the engine. On the 4.4 AJ Petrol and 4.2 Supercharged V8 variants, a degraded or incorrectly fitted gasket commonly results in oil seepage around the lower timing cover, which can contaminate the serpentine belt and associated pulleys. Using the correct OEM-specification replacement is essential to achieve a reliable seal given the thermal cycling demands of these engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLower timing cover gasket, specific to the AJ-V8 engine family used across Discovery 3, Range Rover, and Range Rover Sport\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned to mate precisely with the lower timing cover sealing face - surface preparation and correct torque sequence are critical during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM-specification part, SKU LR000319, ensuring dimensional accuracy for proper sealing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect the timing cover itself for warping or corrosion before fitting; also replace the front crankshaft seal if accessible at the same time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits Discovery 3 (2005–2009) 4.4 AJ Petrol V8, Range Rover (2002–2009) 4.2 V8 Supercharged and 4.4 AJ Petrol V8 (to VIN 6A000001), and Range Rover Sport (2005–2009) 4.2 V8 Supercharged and 4.4 AJ Petrol V8.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure about fitment?
