- Опубліковано 15 жов 2022
- This video is the first part of rebuilding the 4.2L Jaguar head from a 1968 E-Type Series 1.5
The first step in the process required building a fixture that would allow us to safely and securely fixture the head on our machines to do the work. This was made possible with the help of our newest sponsor, WAZER.

A huge thanks to WAZER for the new addition to our machine shop! You can check them out and learn more here: www.wazer.com
hell of a resume just pull up your channel lol
The owner/shop fixing the jaguar really hired the right people.
Thank u
It’s his dad shope
He has talented sperm
@@luxdam2180 he’s meaning the owner of the engine. Or shop working on said engine…
Loving how satisfying it looks when the remaining foil of the seat pulls out with a pick
You can add toolmaker to your resume. Great job on the fixture. I have ran water jet machines in my aerospace career. We used them to cut titanium panels for the flight control surfaces on Boeing C17 aircraft. They don't distort the material with heat.
Great work. Nice to see an abrasive waterjet cutter no bigger than a small refrigerator. Lots of advantages: no heat affected zone, smooth finish and no delamination on composite parts.
It’s pretty cool! Great for a shop like ours who doesn’t have space for one but still has uses for one! Also awesome for classrooms or home workshops!
Presumably cheaper than a laser cutter which has a very small heat affected zone.
@@davidelliott5843 Water jets are pretty expensive to run due to the consumables. That's a long time to cut 3 parts like that.
Omax has a smaller machine now that has a 5hp pump that can run on single phase. Still runs at 30k psi like their big stuff, but much lower cost(which is still expensive). But it'll cut much thicker than 1/4" and much faster.
What’s the price point and footprint of it?
Love the "oddball" engine content.! Id watch pretty much anything that can teach me something... But the fixture and the attention to the jag project lets me know i could send nearly anything your way and you guys would nail it dead on... Awesome as always!
honestly I love every video you put out. this one is extra awesome because it shows you competently working to fix an unordinary situation for you. genuine machinist vibes instead of "idk machine does things" mentality. absolutely love people proud of their work
It is always such a pleasure to see you guys working! Highly skilled, with best technical expertise and more than that: You have so much passion and love doing this! Just great!
Fascinating machine work and great videography! Make sure you're charging well !
I've heard of Serdi machines before, it was very cool to have it explained, and to see it in action.
I’d be willing to bet that you’ll get more jag customers because of these videos, which means your fixture will come in handy
I really enjoy watching you and your Dad working in the shop together. This brings back a flood of memories growing up, working on cars and building engines with my Dad. He was an automotive instructor and one of the engines he had in his shop was one of these very engines. It took forever to get parts from UK for it. RIP, Dad.
Your dad sounds like the man!
I always wondered what it would be like to have a dad...and what it would be like to get along and follow in his foot steps.
Me too 😐
As always, beautiful work.
A grinder and paint make a welder what he ain't! Great job!
Cha-ching!! I repair vintage metric motorcycles. Just like you, the issues that need to be overcome, most people would never know.....
Great work. Great video.
As a mechanic i have sent tons of heads to the machine shop. Interesting to see what goes into it and good job on explaining everything in detail and also explaining the how and why for everything in a down to earth way. Some real quality content
A little overkill but gets the job done. Make sure you lock down the lifter bores (a must).
In case you didn't get the valve installed height before you disassembled they are either .848 or .858 on the 3.8 and 4.2 depending on early or late. Cam centerline to tip.
Also if you are going to be adjusting lash yourself it must be checked multiple times and you will be switching lash pads multiple times.
I have many pads if you if you can't get a certain size I may have it.
20 years ago I worked in a saw shop. I learned there that even number perfectly spaced cutters cause vibration. This is why a lot of face mills have odd number of cutters. Also, they would cut circular saw teeth spacing by hand because it would make the spacing slightly different between the teeth helping to eliminate vibration.
Thanks, you have a cool job. I don't know about that Wazer waterjet, seemed 2+ hours to make those simple cuts was excessive but I guess you gotta know the machine and all the other reasons you thought it would serve.
Beautiful work. Did a head job on a 2,8l head back in early 80´s in process of restoration of series 1 XJ6. Of course did not have the impressive facilities you have. Got the valveguides out by stepwise drilling out until they could be tapped out, much in same way you did with seats. Heated the head and used cooling spray (as used to locate thermal issue in electornics) and smeared grease and the guides slid in very nicely. Valve seats where ok and was quite satisfied to have done this. No YT in those days so had to read books and talk to pro´s.
I learn so much every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you.
Clean processing, clear thinking. Good for you.
SAVE THAT JIG! When word gets out there is a machine shop that can truly and properly machine the Jaguar XK engine, the Jag people and shops that work on classic Jags will come to you. I strongly encourage you to advertise on the Jag forms and Jag user groups.
What a great team….. Great stuff…. Thanks
Woo! Thanks guys.
Wow you guys will be Jag expert’s after this engine. Nice jig you made up. Can’t wait to see what happens with the block! 😊
You might want to look into adding the retainers for the lifter guides. Also Jag had alinement issues at the rear main seal. Line bore and checking the crank for straightness might be in order. Often the rope seal retainer got bored and trued as well. The early 4.2 blocks like the one you are working on had the head studs in the surface of the block. The later motors ran them through the surface, through water jacket and into the block below. Block surface cracking solved. Head stud corrosion and failure became the new problem. Steal through aluminum in to cast iron surrounded by water... What could go wrong? Lol. Removing broken studs from down in the water jacket was not fun. Have fun with that build. Brings back memories for me of past jobs done.
Cool machine and nice work. I love the methodical nature of the overhaul.
Wow that is cool to the options to fix the block on the Jag can't wait to see where you go with it🤠
Looking forward, to seeing the cylinder head getting surfaced. 50 years old and still love seeing that.
Your dad is a legend
Holy cow, cant wait for the next jag episode
Those valve guides coming out so easy at that temperature is probably why those clips where used. Not finding them on the exhaust probably doesn't surprise you. Considering all the other stuff you've discovered that wasn't done correctly in this engine by someone else that previously had there paws in it.
I couldnt find this channel in a better timing. Super impressed with this jag service and im learning everytime you do a new video. Amazing work by thinking outside of the box!
Again , great content with clear narrative and no stupid music.
I really enjoy watching your videos. You and your father really go above and beyond with the work yall do.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to film edit and share this video, this is Art.
Nice tools. Back in 1980 I rebuilt the head off my Norton Motorcycle. Made oversized guides and seats on the lathe and set up a boring head on a Bridgeport mill. Man that was a lot of work, especially as I had only started using a mill about a month before..:). Ooh, the method I came up with for beating out the guides from the aluminium head was to run a tap in the top side and then thread in a bolt. I could then beat on the bolt from the underside, thus avoid peening over the old bronze guide and broaching out the hole.
This is why you are a professional 👏. Thanks
Great series so far, can’t wait to see the sleeves for the block
Great work and a professional made video. It's always a pleasure to watch and listen to the story behind each and every project!
Machining things to perfection, creating parts and restoring things are very satisfying and calming..
Just a proper Job...I live a stones throw from JAGUAR LANDROVER rare I see oldies like this,more the New Stuff on trade plates..
I've been following the work you guys have been doing on this Jag motor.
I love your thorough attention to what yous do and look forward to what happens going forward as my understanding is that the engine is a matching numbers block that belongs to a vintage vehicle.
Cheers from New Zealand.
I love this more custom specialty work. We have seen enough bores and decks already
12:32 I "top my hat" to you. Well done!
Amazing content man!!! I’m so glad you took up this challenge with the Jag block I can’t wait to keep seeing more 😎
I realize Wazer sponsored you with a unit, but I have to point out how crazy inefficient this tool is for this job. 3 hours to make those cuts and a plasma table would have done it in about 45 seconds. The plasma is also a lot less expensive to run, when you consider these 3 parts used *50* pounds of abrasive. That part cost you $75 to cut at Wazer's retail cost for a bucket!
Grinder and paint,makes me the welsee I ain't
Your videos are a pleasure to watch. Massively informative and captivating!
Excellent tutorial, one of the best I have witnessed.
Great video guys.I work at a Automotive machine were I take care of all of the head work,we also have a Serdi 4.5 seat and guide machine that is the main machine for most of the head work.
This is my favourite channel to watch for geeking out on engine machining. Keep it up guys 👍🏻
Amazing work. If I everwin lotto and become a millionaire and purchase a jaguar I'll be sure to come visit. From Australia.. Good to see someone so proud of their work and professionalism.
Awesome lesson!
Awesome work
This is fantastic. Thank you for all the videos.
I’m not even a decent wrench turner but I am a reasonable cabinet/furniture maker and I think your vids are flippin’ awesome! Thanks for doing this.
Great work on the fixture.
Lots of great stuff - enjoyed watching you set up the Wazer machine. Would like to see more of it
Looks like your jig was a good investment of time and materials. And you’ll likely get more use out of it as classic jag owners are a tight nit community.
This is fantastic work
Thanks for the great video, I really enjoy the longer format!
This channel is so wholesome !! Love it
Your work is seriously impressive.
Very educational, thanks
Great show . More than I ever thought a machine shop would do. Really like the slow mo.
Well done man Nice job
I catch myself watching the preview for like 6 mins and end up watching the whole video anyways lol, great work
Making your on fixtures is pretty cool!!!!
It was great to understand de decision Making process
Fascinating!!
Wonderful machining. We usually don't mess with the core plugs anymore as they tend to leak afterwards for not much gain in cleaning. There is a spot in the manual that talks about the seat depth from the back of the cam lobe which is an annoying setup but important as Jaguar only produced a small range of shims.
Super-interesting, great narration!
Nice work
Great job 👍
This is amazing.
Great content!!
One of my favorite channels. Reminds me of watching the Machinery Repairman Navy’s version of a machinist working in the general workshop many years ago.
Highly competent machining attention to detail, bar none!
This channel and Tony at headbytes are two of the best engine channels
I enjoyed watching the valve seats being cut/removed. Can you reuse the abrasive in the cutter?
Great video. Lots of interesting information. Please post more videos!
With no rocker arms, it’s surprising to see that much guide ware. Thanks for sharing
There is still a lateral force exerted on the valve bucket (cam follower) that will cause wear in the guide.
BTW, I lover me some Jaguar engines! Thank you Sir William Lyons and team for the finest in-line six cylinder engine ever made.
Grinder and Paint, Makes me the welder I ain't!
You appreciate us?! Shoot, we all appreciate your videos!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Great Content. Thanks
Love the content. Keep it coming!
I'd love to be able to do this kind of work. It is amazing watching you do this.
My God this is so satisfying
As always, very interesting. 👍
You do magic on those engines :)
Awesome video. Nice work on the head.
I really enjoy the pace and format of your vids. The algorithm sent me here and I have to say it got the suggestion right 🙂 subbed, I want to see how the jag turns out and more
Innovative and interesting !
We get the old valve seats out by Tig welding on the inside of the seat which shrinks the outside diameter and the seats come out with screwdriver as a lever…..as long as you are careful no damage will be done to the head.
Your videos are great. Keep it up.
Most interesting and very well narrated.
paper template, torch, and a steady hand. done in under an hour. KISS
Wasn’t expecting a water jet! Looking forward to more cool tools
