Available Options
Within this listing we offer a Jaguar and Land Rover V8 crankshaft pulley holding and removal tool kit with the camshaft setting and locking tools included in both versions. The crankshaft pulley is also called the harmonic balancer or crankshaft damper. On engines with the split-cone pulley, it can remain tight on the crankshaft even after the centre bolt has been removed.
Which kit do I need?
Please select the correct pulley tool version above Add to Cart. Both versions contain the camshaft setting and locking kit. The difference is the crank pulley holding adaptor:
- Standard pulley – Jaguar non-supercharged: for the naturally aspirated Jaguar V8 models listed below.
- Deep pulley – Jaguar supercharged / Land Rover V8: for the supercharged Jaguar and Land Rover V8 models listed below. This is also the correct option for the naturally aspirated Land Rover 4.4 V8 models listed below. Their workshop procedure specifies the deep pulley adaptor too.
If the option you need is not available to select, that version is out of stock. Do not order the standard pulley version for an XKR, XJR or a listed Land Rover 4.4 V8 on the assumption that every AJ-V8 pulley uses the same adaptor.
Standard pulley option: non-supercharged Jaguar V8
| Jaguar model | Engine | Approximate years |
|---|---|---|
| XK8 (X100) | 4.0 V8; later 4.2 V8 | 1996–2006 |
| XK (X150) | 4.2 V8 | 2006–2009 |
| XJ8 (X308) | 3.2 or 4.0 V8 | 1997–2003 |
| XJ8 / XJ (X350/X358) | 3.5 or 4.2 V8 | 2003–2009 |
| S-Type V8 | 4.0 V8; later 4.2 V8 | 1999–2007 |
| XF V8 (X250) | 4.2 V8 | 2008–2009 |
These are the non-supercharged V8 versions. An XK8 and an XKR may look similar, but their crank pulley holding adaptors are different. An early 1996/97 XK8 may have the earlier damper arrangement, so check its VIN and pulley before ordering.
Deep pulley option: supercharged Jaguar and Land Rover V8
| Model | Engine | Approximate years |
|---|---|---|
| Jaguar XKR (X100) | 4.0 supercharged V8; later 4.2 supercharged V8 | 1998–2006 |
| Jaguar XKR (X150) | 4.2 supercharged V8 | 2006–2009 |
| Jaguar XJR (X308) | 4.0 supercharged V8 | 1997–2003 |
| Jaguar XJR (X350/X358) | 4.2 supercharged V8 | 2003–2009 |
| Jaguar S-Type R | 4.2 supercharged V8 | 2002–2007 |
| Jaguar XF SV8 (X250) | 4.2 supercharged V8 | 2008–2009 |
| Range Rover Sport (L320) | 4.2 supercharged V8 | 2005–2009 |
| Range Rover (L322) | 4.2 supercharged V8 | 2006–2009 |
Land Rover 4.4 V8: naturally aspirated, but still the deep pulley option
This is the exception to a simple supercharged/non-supercharged rule. Land Rover's crank pulley procedure lists adaptor 303-191-03 for its naturally aspirated Jaguar-derived 4.4 V8. Select the Deep pulley – Jaguar supercharged / Land Rover V8 option for:
- Discovery 3 / LR3: 4.4 naturally aspirated petrol V8, approximately 2005–2009.
- Range Rover Sport (L320): 4.4 naturally aspirated petrol V8, approximately 2005–2009.
- Range Rover (L322): Jaguar-derived 4.4 naturally aspirated petrol V8, approximately 2006–2009.
Range Rover 4.4 owners: earlier BMW-powered 4.4 models use a different engine and are not covered by this fitment. These tool kits are also not for the later 5.0 V8, diesel V8 or Jaguar/Land Rover V6 engines. Years are a guide, especially around engine changeovers; check the engine and pulley before ordering.
What comes in the kit?
Crankshaft pulley holding and removal tools
The holding tool keeps the crank pulley still while its centre bolt is loosened or tightened. The puller then draws the damper off the crankshaft. Jaguar tool references include 303-191 for the main holder and 303-588 for the damper puller. The standard Jaguar pulley adaptor is 303-191-02. The deep pulley version includes the longer holding adaptor equivalent to 303-191-03 for the models listed above.
Why the deep version has different parts
Jaguar's supercharged XK workshop procedure specifies 303-191-03 to hold the pulley while the centre bolt is undone. It then specifies 303-191-02 with puller 303-588 for the pulling stage. The two operations use different adaptors. Land Rover's 4.4 V8 procedure also specifies 303-191-03 for holding its pulley, despite the engine being naturally aspirated. A seller's list of tool reference numbers alone is not proof that the deep adaptor is in the kit.
Camshaft setting and locking tools – included in both versions
The camshaft tool kit is always included. It contains tools corresponding to 303-530 camshaft setting plates, 303-531 and 303-645 crankshaft setting pins, 303-532 camshaft sprocket holding tool, 303-533 tensioner wedges, 303-654 VVT setting tool and T40011 tensioner pin. These are for timing chain, tensioner and camshaft work. They do not replace the pulley holding tool when undoing the crank bolt.
Why does the pulley sometimes seem stuck?
The split cone is the detail that catches people out. Once the centre bolt is removed, the damper can still be firmly gripped on the crankshaft. Jaguar's procedure calls for the correct puller and thrust button. Make sure the puller bolts are properly engaged in the damper's threaded holes and tighten the puller evenly. The damper may only need to move about 2 mm before the cone releases. It can then come free or need a light tap with a soft mallet. If a puller bolt starts to pull out or its threads begin to strip, stop and check the setup rather than adding more force. Jaguar introduced this split-cone arrangement during early XK8 production; an early 1996/97 car may have the earlier damper design.
Do not use the crankshaft timing setting pin to hold the engine while loosening or tightening the pulley bolt. Jaguar specifies the pulley holding tool for that job. The timing pin is for positioning the crankshaft when setting the engine timing.
The numbers above are workshop tool references used to explain each tool's job. They do not mean that an individually supplied genuine Jaguar or Land Rover tool is included for every reference number shown.
