Jaguar F-Type R Timing Chain Tensioner Design Flaw (2012-2014 Models)
If your F-Type R is a 2012-2014 model with the AJ133 5.0-litre supercharged V8, timing chain tensioner and guide wear is a documented design flaw - the hardened steel tensioner piston wears an aluminium guide button over time, which can fail with no warning. This engine is explicitly named in the same US class-action lawsuit scope as the XJ, XK and XF of the same era. We replace the timing chain, tensioners, guides and water pump as standard on every AJ133 rebuild.
Later F-Type R models (2015 onward) use the same AJ133 engine but received updated tensioner and guide components, and are not covered by the same lawsuit scope. Still, every AJ133 rebuild we carry out gets the full timing chain assembly inspected and replaced where needed.
Source: verified via rrsport.co.uk lawsuit reference (per VRF-jaguar-f-type.md, confirmed in earlier session). Later models excluded from the lawsuit-scoped claim per VRF.
Jaguar F-Type RENGINE OPTIONS
Every F-Type R is different. That's why we offer the right solution for your engine, your car and your budget.
REBUILDING YOUR F-TYPE R ENGINE
Most engine suppliers sell you a used engine of unknown history and hope it matches. We rebuild the engine your F-Type R already has instead - strip it down, pressure-test it, and replace every worn or damaged component (timing chain, tensioners, guides and water pump) with updated OEM parts. You get a near-new engine with a 12-month unlimited-mileage warranty, without the compatibility risk of an unknown used unit. This is the option most F-Type R owners choose, and it's the one we'd recommend for most situations.
From £6,500RECONDITIONED F-TYPE R ENGINES
"Reconditioned" is the term many owners search for when they mean the same thing as a rebuild - a full strip-down, inspection, and replacement of worn parts rather than a straight swap. If that's what you're after, our rebuild service is exactly that.
Learn moreREFURBISHED F-TYPE R ENGINES
Similarly, "refurbished" often describes the same process from a different angle - restoring your existing engine to full working condition rather than replacing it outright. Our rebuild covers this.
Learn moreREMANUFACTURED F-TYPE R ENGINES
Some owners specifically search for a "remanufactured" engine, expecting a unit rebuilt to original specification with updated components. That's consistent with what our rebuild service delivers on the AJ133.
Learn moreREPLACEMENT F-TYPE R ENGINES
If your existing engine is beyond economical repair, we also offer full engine replacement and fitting - sourced and fitted by our team, with the same 12-month warranty.
Learn moreUSED F-TYPE R ENGINES
In some cases, a matched low-mileage used engine is the right call - particularly if you need your car back on the road quickly and your existing engine's damage is extensive. We can source and fit these too, though most owners who ask about used engines end up choosing a rebuild once they understand the compatibility risk a used unit carries. Enter your reg below and we'll talk you through both options honestly.

ABOUT THE Jaguar F-Type R ENGINE

The F-Type R uses the AJ133 - a 5.0-litre supercharged V8 that's been the top performance engine in Jaguar's line-up for years. It was fitted from 2013 to 2024 across the X152 generation, though the earlier 2012-2014 cars are the ones covered by the US class-action lawsuit over timing chain tensioner and guide wear. Later cars share the same engine code but received updated tensioner and guide components, so the lawsuit-scoped claim is specifically limited to the earlier build years - though we always inspect the full timing assembly on every AJ133 rebuild regardless of the car's age.
We continue to rebuild and replace AJ133 engines for every F-Type R on the road.
Jaguar F-Type R ENGINE CODES

A 5.0-litre supercharged V8 fitted to the F-Type R from 2013 to 2024 (X152). Known for timing chain tensioner and guide wear on 2012-2014 models - see the callout above. We replace the timing chain, tensioners, guides and water pump as standard on every AJ133 rebuild.
Check Your AJ133 F-Type RJaguar F-Type R ENGINE COMPATIBILITY

The F-Type R uses the AJ133 supercharged V8 across its entire production run, but there's a parts-revision split between early and late cars. Pre-2015 cars have the earlier tensioner and guide design that's prone to wear - the same units covered by the US class-action. From 2015 onward, the engine received updated components. Before we quote or supply anything, we confirm:
Your exact build year (2013-2014 vs 2015-2024)
Your chassis (X152)
Drivetrain and ancillary specification
Any electronics or ECU considerations specific to your exact build
This is why we always start with your registration rather than a generic F-Type R quote - it protects you from paying for parts that don't fit your actual car.
