After 5 years of it sitting at the back of the house, the engine finally made its way into the boat. This is one of those 'this is how it happens in real life' stories. In the manual, it says "using an appropriate lifting system, lower the engine onto its mounts". This is those 6 hours, at just above zero degrees centigrade, in the driveway, and condensed into 7 minutes. Ignore the time and dat...

Windsurfing in a good breeze where the water is like a tepid bath. Somehow I think windsurfing in the English channel just isn't going to live up to this.

Jaguar XK8 XJ8 V8 Cam Chain and Cylinder Head Removal AJ26/AJ27
Переглядів 131 тис.8 років тому
Removing the cylinder heads from a Jaguar 4.0 V8, normally aspirated, in a 1999 XK8 convertible. The inlet manifold is off, as is the water pump and the radiator fans. The engine has 56k miles on it and is one of the original Nikasil bores. One secondary tensioner is definitely cracked, but as it turns out, all the timing chain tensioners and guides were cracked. We start with the front pulley ...

What tool are you using for the harmonic ballencer removal I'm stuck on mines right now ready to send the old junk to the scrap yard
Afraid I rented the proper removal tools from the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club here in the UK. It cost me £75, but that was better then struggling for hours!
Hi! Will you give me advice please. I have an little oil leak from under the timing chain cover (AJ34S). Mechanic says to replace timing chain cover gasket. For this action do I need to take out the engine? And do I need to disconnect the supercharger?
There is no need to remove the cams under spring pressure. Once the chains are off, just rotate the cams to the "safe position" where all valves are closed.
@dalehuxford4522 My LR3 2006 4.4 with beloved 207k miles on it succumbed to not having good working water pump. I wasn't there when my wife said it "steamed" and smoked a lot. But it started up fine to get it 400 yard to the drive way. Having never seen a blow head gasket nor comprehending the savage outcome, I replaced the water pump, belts and thermostat and housing, but of course got quite a surprise after doing all that work to see that there was some steam blowing out off the left front bank of cylinders and seemed to idle slightly rough. That's when I realized oh, all that steam for a good while my wife said must have been the head gasket. It's been an amazing vehicle we have had for 14 years, and it was running so strong and beautifully. I cried. She didn't go very far on it, and it had the best synt oils, but I worry none the less that this might have done something worse. Suggestions? Thank you sir.
Sorry, hadn't seen this query! I would take the heads off by and see if they're straight or not. You may find a light skim and new gaskets and oil and all is well again. Or, when you get the head off, you might see issues in the bores. Then you have to start making bigger decisions!
Is the GL650 a two or four stroke engine.
Would never happen if you owned a Japanese vehicle...especially at 50k miles....those engines are just breaking in at 50k and coming to the end of the life on a JLR motor...

When do we see part 2 putting it back together?
8 years later, I do still have the original footage, but editing takes a very long time. I'm hoping to retire soon and it's on the list!
For an instructional video you really should use some sound and speaking instead of leaving it up to the viewer to interpret what you do just on video. Seems kinda lazy to me. Why didn't you even make a part 2 video?
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed right now. I am removing the head(s) on my 2002 XK8 to find the cause of zero compression on #5 cylinder. I know I am way over my head on this, but I hate to junk the car.
You're not alone, mine has zero on #8 and I'm dreading the stripdown before even thinking of the rebuild.

That spider (on the bottom of the left side of the video) at 17:43 was pissed out getting splashed
Did you use the tool to put all four CAMS back perfectly? I'm over complicating this I think. But I have to remove heads and don't know how to put the CAMS back properly.
tienes el manual para poder poner en punto el motor y pueda funcionar al toque luego de reparar el motor
You can use a big 3 winged puller too

How do you change/clean the air filter? I inherited a nissan gl600 and I can't seem to remove the cover to clean the air filter.
Afraid I can't remember, it sold on ebay a year ago. Good luck finding the answer.
Dear Do you have a video of a way to renew the timing chain Jaguar V8 XJ8 - 2000
excellent
A great job, but way too much work for me at this point. I admire you guys, but I will avoid this job if possible.
Another video with no voice over. Doesn’t take much to explain what you’re doing rather than making someone read a message on the side of the screen.
Thank you Dale
This video is way more popular than I thought it would be. This is to back up the ebay sale I have running at the moment, feel free to look here if you want to see the auction: ebay.us/SjH3AP
Hey I have one of these. I emptied the gas tank and cleaned the lines. Anything else I could check before trying to turn her on. When I first got the generator I tried starting and after a dozen pulls it fired up for a few seconds. Any ideas?
@@jamespurdy405 I'd suggest it could be the auto-oil level inhibitor or, simply rubbish from dried fuel in the floatbowl. I've seen float needles gummed up on our generators that we use for annual events. We now empty float bowls and check flow of fresh fuel if it's more than 6 months between uses. The ethanol fuel isn't the best when left for long periods of time.
The chains and tensioners don’t look to bad a job to do. Are they? Also where can I buy a tool to remove that main crank pulley?
I am gobsmacked at needing to replace the cam followers, special tools needed as well seems quite daunting.
Great video guys...Thanks for taking the time and effort to do it.

Does the cam sospose to turn without camshaft sprocket
Hi Dale, Liked the Vid, contemplating attempting to remove cylinder head. Did you lock the crankshaft if so how?
here i am workshopmanual says remove engine for the ls but wondering if i can take a head out with the exhaust manifold attached
Crankshaft setting peg. About page 600 in workshop manual
Hie Dale....i cant find part two in yo channel....where is it?
No part 2 installation video I see...
Afraid not. It's taking ages to do and I ran out of time and energy. The day job just keeps getting in the way. However, thanks for the prompt, I might try and get it back on the list of things to do. Ta.
i like your helper...i have a similar one..do you still have the jag tools? possible to borrow them w an arrangement? thanks
well I guess now that you messed up ''tdc'' what to do ?
Well, I watched to see how one removes the exhaust, which you left out. :(
Did you have to remove the power steering pump And ac compressor to get the cover off?
So useful, thank you.
What was the issue with the engine that needed the heads pulled?
Five star video..!!!!
Appreciate your video. I'm working on an XF V8 5L head gasket set. Did you remove the exhaust manifolds?
Hie...did you get right with your project?
He left the exhaust manifold attached to the cylinder head. He disconnected the three bolts from the exhaust manifold to the catalytic converter. This makes it much easier to access the bolts attaching the manifold to the cylinder head when it's out of the car and easily a accessible.
Jag cam chain
Nice video. Small note: VVT is only relevant on 4.0L engines; 3.2L engines have no VVT. Also, AJ27 has different VVT gear - not interchangeable with AJ26. Finally, the chains and tensioner kits are also different between AJ26 and AJ27 for these and other reasons. Great video and work dude.
Hello, are the head bolt nuts 13mm? I have a struggle with one bolt. The nut is going over. It is probably corroded as there is a water leak, probably in that area. I wont loosen the others further, as the head could warp. need help.
This doesn't sound like fun. I can't remember the bolt head size, but unless you've already done it I would buy one of those sockets that work against the flat walls of the bolt head hexagon rather than the points. A 12 point socket is going to just round off the bolt completely. If that doesn't work, you're going to have to very carefully drill the head of the bolt off and hope to pull the head off the bolt. However, there's not enough space in the car to do it, so you'd have to pull the engine out. Ouch. It's usually at this point that I would make another coffee, take a piece of cake, and just stare at the job for a while, waiting for inspiration. If no inspiration arrives, leave it well alone for a couple of days!
It wasnt turning over. It is 13mm. It just sounded like going over and the 13mm nut was just looking used inside, which made me think its going over. I was very causious and turned only little by little and it calways made a clunking like sound. replaced the 13mm by polydrive. thanks anyway.
I used brake cleaner after every little by little turn on the new stronger black nut
It would be great if you split it up! All information gratefully received. Do you remember how how you kept the crank in the correct position? Did you Tippex/mark it or did you use some sort of tool to hold it in place?
très bien cette vidéo , je vais faire le même travail sur une 2l5 s type , deux joints de culasses a changer.
Well done, that is brilliant and very helpful. I've just started doing my 96 XK8. Did you ever do a Part 2/rebuild?
I've started editing the rebuild video, but it's quite a lot longer, as it includes all the clean-up of the valves, tappet clearances and the slow job of re-torquing everything. I will get it finished. Maybe I'll split it into some smaller videos that might make it easier...
please post soon..I need it bad...
video was pointless no sound not telling what your doing.
You may have a point there, I can turn a spanner, but think I'm a bit rubbish when it comes to creating and adding a script, so I added the words to the screen. Maybe I'll try adding my voice to the next one...
Dale Huxford Hola quisiera saber la posición del volante de inercia llevo días buscando le agradezco la información
Can't agree that it's pointless. Best demonstration video out there for this job!
Jack ass reply. The video-demo was worth hearing a thousand words. You must be a little boy that also needs pictures in the books you read. -waaaa
I have replacement parts & the just ordered tool kit from ebay.
Hey Dale.. I have a 2000 Jag S-Type 4.0 V8 my tensioner broke on the passenger side and the cam timing chain broke..i see some oil in the spark plug holes.. can you give me a suggestive overview of what issue is in front of me and what I precautions I need to take.. thanks for the video upload it was very helpful.
you aren't fixing that. When the tensioner breaks and it shears the timing chain, that causes the piston to smash into the half open valve. Your head is destroyed, and you aren't replacing that for any reasonable sum of money. The cost to fix it is more than the price of a comparable jaguar. Ditch the car. It's not worth it.
nice video it's smoothed out sounds good now. the hard work paid off nice job I have a challenge like that myself with my 2000 S Type 4.0
