Ah the joy of working with stock cams and springs. I never get the sprockets aligned that easily.

Awesome Job!!! Looking forward on doing the same to my new soon to be Jaguar, regardless if it needs it or not. It would be relaxing, fun and exiting. I believe its an advantage and a great feeling when you disassemble and assemble your car with care. You get to know where everything is at and how your beauty comes all together. Knowing what parts are new and what might need to be changed later. Especially when you assemble it and take the time to clean and paint as you assemble... Its a work of Art. Thank you for your videos, they will definitely help Blessings

I noticed that you checked the depth of the acorn nut. That is good, however, it's always a good idea to check each and every chrome acorn nut, as well. Check all of them, to make sure they are all tapped out equally. If they're not tapped out the correct depth, you won't get the torque to the head. I had an XK150 that suffered a head gasket failure. When looking for the cause, besides the fact that it was the original steel stamped gasket, and had never been changed in 62 years, I found the head nut over the area where it failed, was not fully tapped out.

Of camera they were all checked and there was plenty of thread in each nut for it not to bottom out.

Nice video. Good to see how it all goes together. I think its a shame that Jaguar stopped painting the heads in the late 60s. The different colours based on the engine type were kind of cool.

Hi, do you have any recommendation for the cam cover gaskets? The OEM ones, made of out cardboard seem to fail imediately. Thanks

Later ones have two lock tabs per cam. Hope you cleaned the head surface where the inlet manifold fits.

Hey Adam ! Such an fine job to watch! where did you get the service manual ? did you buy an online version ?

In putting the head back on using your method it also helps a great deal to be young and fit - neither of which applies to me! Still, I've started to drop the rear sub frame this afternoon.

You're probably right! What you don't see on camera is that I had it one twice. First time I got it down half way and I noticed I had forgotten the gasket... Had to start all over and the second time it really felt heavy. The whole rear sub frame is very nice to work on once it's on the ground.

Great vid!! Any chance you can do a cylinder head removal on a 1999 XJ8 (X308)?

Nice job. Do the six small nuts in front get torqued to 54 lb ft too? Manual is unclear. I've heard you're not supposed to use an extension on a torque wrench. It absorbs torque.

Nice job. My comment is, Cam bolts should have lock tabs and not lock washers. but washers should work just as well. Aluminum paint would have looked nice on the cylinder head.

Thank you! I found these in the parts catalogue for a late series 3 head. They didn't come lose before so I hope they stay on haha. I thought if that too but decided to try this first. Might end up painting it later on

I’m guessing that you put in two new half circle rubber plugs in the back of the cylinder head. What type of silicone or other sticky stuff did you use for that?
