OMG Thank you for posting these 4 videos. I'm in the process of doing chains, coolant pipes, water pump, hoses, etc on my wife's LR4 and your 4 video series is the best and easiest to follow.
Hello thank for your videos ! the center piston seems to be missing a piece at 6 o'clock ? I once found a broken camshaft in a Suzuki Swift GTi! same as you, long time ago 1990 years !
@@fahdisnoopy7593 yes it is the same AJ126 in the XJL 2013-2017. I just removed my crankshaft, it was bent following a first engine failure, but reinstalled by the previous owner (??). So I have to change it , not very easy to find (undocumented reference : 7DX23AA)
I don't have enough data points to tell you if it is a common failure for the camshaft to break on these. Someone else commented on one of my videos that they saw the same thing, so that is at least one other. The piston shape on the supercharged AJ126 and AJ133 allows it to smack the valve straight on if the timing gets off, so I can see why it does it. As far as recommending the AJ126, I'm torn. It is a smooth running engine with good power. It's faults are 1) it is really hard to work on compared to most other European engines and 2) some parts are prohibitively expensive in the USA.
I will be head deep in the same project very soon. Great info so far and I appreciate the detail! Nice work! Your question on a salvage head or rebuilding the existing....I haven't seen part 3 yet but I would probably lean more toward rebuild of the existing only because its new parts and with a leak down and new adjusted buckets you can have faith in what was done. I've had so many salvage parts and then have to go through the same leak down process and end up rebuilding the heads anyway to get it to hold pressure. I'm looking forward to seeing the balance of the 2 videos and how it goes. By the way (and you may have mentioned it or will mention it)....How many total hours do you have in this project? Thanks!

@nixfix @nixfix I am doing this job currently and I put my key way at 6oclcok and the vac pump lock tool is in place but the number 1 cylinder is not at the top of the cylinder it sits about 3/4 of an inch down is that normal? I couldn’t really tell where yours was in the vide
@@NiXFiX ok thanks. I put it all back together and now po301 302 and 303. Any suggestions? :) I’ve double checked injector and could connectors. I feel like I’m overthinking it.
I'm working on the same engine and have the timing off. Where do I start on the crank? I set it up on #1 TDC (passenger front tdc) and it runs like ass. Code says bank 1 timing off.
You need to lock the crank in position with the tool that goes in the flywheel. This tool bolts in where the crank position sensor goes. The crankshaft key (on the front) should be facing down at the 6 o'clock position. This video link might help you see it better. Watch 30:19 to 39:11 of it: ua-cam.com/video/hJXSMFwCfc8/v-deo.html
@@NiXFiX thanks for the reply. On this car I can stick that tool in any spot on the flywheel. It isn’t like a Audi with 1 hole. It has slots all the way around the flywheel so it can be inserted into many places.
@@6172crew1 Ah. You must have an older car than 2013? Maybe a 2009, 2010, or 2011? Also, is it the V6 (AJ126) or V8 (AJ133)? I know some of the early AJ133 engines used a flywheel with squares all the way around it. BUT…BUT…one of them is different. Trust me. Stretching my memory here, but I believe the square is slightly bigger than the rest. Also, it takes the older style tool, not the countered one. Study the pictures of this flywheel.

The one thing I didn’t do was use the tool in the fuel pump cam, that should help figure out what is going on. It runs, but missing badly. I read that the #1 cylinder set at TDC and one that says the key for the crank pulley is at 6oclock. I can’t do both.
How did you hold the crankshaft pulley? It's supposed to be 200 Nm + 270 degrees. I guess the tool might come handy. Found it on aliexpress bit cheaper.
Not to say I won't someday, but I've done several of these and have never had a problem just using the timing position lock tools (specifically the one that bolts where the starter goes) hold the flywheel. Just make sure you know which way your bolt needs to turn to come off (left hand or right hand thread).
I use brake clean and a bare razor blade held close to perpendicular to the block as possible. I scrape in all downward strokes (like you would squeegee glass).
Dude!! I own a repair shop that has a 2013 jag 3.0. Same issue with snapped camshaft. Except both intake cams snapped. I was unable to rotate engine cams to get top dead center due to chains not being on. Is their another way? You can call my shop number if you have time for a quick call. (CarMergency) in Baton Rouge Louisiana. Thanks !!
If you have broken cams, engine got out of time and pistons hit valves. You'll need to pull the cylinder heads and replace valves. To get engine to location for timing set (I don't think it is TDC), pull the cams out and the rotate the engine and install the tools to lock the crank in position. If you're putting the engine back together, put cams close to th position they need to be, torque them down, then use a wrench to turn them to the exact position and install the tools. This is a 4 part series, if you only watched this part (part 2), you might have your questions answered in the other parts.
You're not wrong. It's just a habit to say TDC because that is the timing position of most engines. It's kinda like how most people say freon, but what they really mean is refrigerant. Freon is a brand that makes refrigerant.
Just realized the timing chain I was looking at is different bank from the one I was viewing through the oil filler cap.. F**K.. No problems re timing chains but always thought this was a good test, but clearly not..

I was going to say how nice and clean the inside of the engine looks, why would the tensioner just fail? Poor manufacturing? 12:19 😱 ouch!!!
12:22 Thanks for the video! Its a common failure break the camshafts? or its a puntual failure? Is the aj126 recommended?

Quite saying top dead center . I can assure you that, with that installed that motor is not at top dead center😊

Yeah. 3 chains total. One for oil pump and balance shaft, one for bank 1 (RH) cylinder head, and one for bank 2 (LH) cylinder head.
