Land Rover 2.0 Checking Engine Timing

In this video I show how you can check to see if the timing chain is out of sync without having to open up the engine and using special tools. This is done with using oscilloscope and referencing a known good waveform.

Thanks 👍 greta demostración

What will make cam to cam to be on time but ckp off time 7 teeth, how many degress of crank rotation are this .
I thinking 🤔 of some one removed the harmonic balancere and did not used the special tools to do proper timing, or ckp sensor replacement without the special tools .
What is the history of the vehicle?

Excellent video Sadel! If you had check it at idle you would not have noticed that ah! I am still thinking what is causing that! I'll check the timing chain layout. I'll wait for part 2! Thank you for sharing brother!

[@DTEAuto]

yeah pretty crazy!

[@spirokattan3655]

Thanks for posting. Where did you get those piercing probes from? Power Probe?

[@DTEAuto]

they are power probe brand

[@mrduncan2784]

Thanks for the video. With the variation of signal timing, on initial crank I was thinking it could be related to oil pressure building up during the cranking. Something to do with chain slack, chain tensioners or the phasers. I don’t know the timing chain design so am just speculating. Thanks again for the post

[@DTEAuto]

Great point!

[@amarabdelli487]

Thanks for this wonderful video

[@DTEAuto]

Glad you liked it!

[@djosbun]

Very interesting…….I’m curious as to what you find out (maybe it’s aftermarket cam sensor?).

[@DTEAuto]

hoping to get the job and open it up

[@mrblonde2013]

I assume this is the Ford engined example and not the later JLR engine?

[@DTEAuto]

Yes, I believe the ecoboost type

[@calebmohler3082]

Correct, the ecopoop got replaced around 2017/18 with the JLR 2.0 ingenium trashpile

[@weldingjunkie]

What would cause the skinny captures? Tone ring issues?

[@stevepark5504]

I would more think an out of spec aftermarket cam sensor.

[@weldingjunkie]

@@stevepark5504 he calling timing job so it’s not a sensor but it is interesting how it’s being picked pick up. Must be expanding when hot.

[@mrblonde2013]

Saw something similar to that on an SMA video, the phaser/cam assembly was 'jumping' around when cranking the engine, resulting in unusual scope patterns

[@weldingjunkie]

@@mrblonde2013 that’s what I figured. Saems to fit the diag, hopefully sadel gets the job

[@DTEAuto]

I still don't have an exact answer to be honest.
