Giving Our £1 Engine the Restoration It Deserved!

[@draggonhedd]

Whack a big ol snail on it, and stuff it in Vauxhall Carlton estate and give it a purple Silk Cut Jag inspired livery. You know it would be good.

[@frequentfly3r571]

We can still tell tom is wearing a castroll logo on his shirt 😂 props for realizing it during filming.

[@smallbutdeadly931]

yep 0:35 if it wasn't obvious before

[@SnilkrakT]

It’s better advertising for Castrol them bluring it. It’s draws our attention to it and we all know what it is. 😂

[@PatrickHemmes]

The funny thing of bluring it is that it draws more attention to it.

[@HansDelbruck53]

I believe it's Castrol.

[@michaelbrooks8332]

Castrol is what jlr recommend

[@AdamJClarkson]

I love how they blurred out the Castrol on Tom's jumper, right as he was standing next to an unblurred Castrol container at 3:38

[@TheCluelessEnthusiast]

They will edit this video the second they read this comment. Lol

[@wayland7150]

What am I missing? What's wrong with Castrol?

[@AdamJClarkson]

@@wayland7150 Drivetribe have a brand partnership with Liqui Moly which is a competitor of Castrol so they don't want to look like they're promoting them

Thank goodness there are still people like Tom around. An absolute legend.

I just sold my 4.0 AJ16 XJ6 today, so this is a goodbye of sorts for me. It is a phenomenal engine. Powerful, smooth, and the sound is tremendous.

Next time you have Tom Lenthal on put him in the thumbnail! I would have watched this yesterday.

[@gerardedwardalexandersteve8021]

Tom is such a joy to watch. Always remain humble👌

[@GrayNeko]

Cannot believe that is the same engine from the first video. Stunning work, Mr. Lenthall, just stunning! ^_^ Cannot wait to see where this beautiful little monster winds up! ^_^

[@ziggybome]

Is it the same engine when 80% of it is new parts? Same block new everything else.

[@cin2110]

Tom is an absolute legend.

[@ruairidhfleming5546]

I personally think twin-charging a engine is better than a supercharger or twin turbo and if youse do decide to twin-charger the engine mark sure to put a clutch on the supercharger so that it does drag on the engines power at high rpm

[@morgstar1]

I have been wanting to see a built AJ16 take on the Japanese 6 cylinders, thank you!

[@oikkuoek]

Boost it to four digits and drop it into XJS with reworked suspension and brakes.

[@Crazy_Adventures]

1000 lbs of boost?!! 😂😂

[@piuthemagicman]

​@@Crazy_Adventureseven better, 1000 bar of boost!

[@ValleyBanger]

Put it up against an Aussie Barra 4.0L straight six

[@tturi2]

that engine is very much like the sohc, the cam drive looks identical lol

[@theycallmemrboombastic6870]

Love the tom lenthall love, boys a diamond in the rough

[@katar0t0]

I've got one of these AJ16 on my driveway and an AJ6 in front of it as well, great engines, easy to work with and pretty much indestructible.

[@christopherlenahan3906]

Hearing an English mechanic say "Job's done" is just a good feeling, there's no BS behind it.

[@compt3ck]

Bearing tangs are not there to keep them from spinning. Bearing crush is what holds them in place. The tang is simply to locate the bearing during installation.

[@chadbrobertson]

i love this iteration of drivetribe. it is in great hands and mike is a proper petrolhead

[@dunkace]

Gives me vibes of i have had the same broom for 20 years. "mind you the broom has had 17 new heads and 14 new handles"

[@zanderboy]

Tom is the OG, top top top top bloke, fun friendly and insanely knowledgeable

[@Xaltar_]

Love the Jag 4.2 i6, we had an XJ 4.2 when I was in my teens, what a car. Ours needed paint but otherwise the body was dent/rust free and mechanically she ran like a top. Plenty of grunt and so smooth.

[@9wowable]

Nice to have an actual subject on this video and not another piece to camera.

[@Kwclasics]

Tom is an absolute legend I’ve had the privilege of meeting him a few times mikes not bad either

[@thespicepatel]

Jaguar XJS with a bonkers amount of power in would look amazing! Keeping it looking stock/oem+ but with new suspension and brakes to match the power!

[@Arcturuseyes]

Tom is a great guy, he is good at what he does.

[@georgewaugh8817]

It's a pleasure to watch you! Growing as a presenter! 💪

[@tony66au]

Mike....... That engine deserves a nice Mk X or 420G home and a whole lot of titanium intake and exhaust for bling..... :-)

[@maxrockatanksyOG]

We i used to build big HP engines, i would always select engines that had been sitting outside for years (302 & 351 Clevelands, Intech 6's, Buick V6, 250 Crossflow- Aussie engines). Would go out of my way to buy engines from down south (NSW, Tasmania etc) where it snows; these weathered engines once cleaned & built, never gave an issue as they had been "seasoned", never suffered cracked blocks or heads, never any leaking issues (even with 38psi+ of boost).

[@cwj138]

21:05 those cam lobes are super pointy

[@BrazingHussey]

Cool video, enjoyed that!! Nice to see a bit of detail. Bottom end looks very strong, keen to see just how big the Garret is and what it ends up powering

[@heilandgunner]

I watched this and should be marvelling over the engine, but all I can think about is how many people watching this know what a chanter is... You should've gone all in with a full set of bagpipes!.. ;-)

[@damiantaylor7993]

The Scottish population Myselef included, will know what the chanter is and from what part of the pipes it’s from but most of the English population wont

that's pretty light, isn't it?

[@senatorchinchilla5389]

I have an XJR6, and they are an absolute BUGGER to work on. At least in the car, there is zero access. All the fiddly bits are under the intercooler so you have to access from underneath. But you do get 4.0L, more than your standard Japanese straight 6. And when its working it goes like a train.

[@lohenbrau]

Beautiful work! I hope Emma brings in a lot of money for charity. I'm curious though, how much would all that restoration/rebuilt work have cost a normal person coming in off the street?

Keep that cam cover well hidden or it may be ending up on the AJ16 in my Silk Cut purple XJS race car! Surprised this motor isn't bound for a racer with your ties to Swallows and now working with Tom too, surely you should keep it supercharged, plonk it in an X300 and join the party 🏁🏁🏁

[@leeevernden]

Great episode thank you. Looking forward to seeing where that ends up.

[@NJRD977]

Why does Fernie keep advertising Redbull (sponsored athlete style) but they blur out Castrol from Tom? Is it just because the show is sponsored by Liqui-moly?

[@StealthFX9]

Yes.

[@EvilEndz]

Because Liqui Moly is CLEARLY THE SUPERIOR PRODUCT AND NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR YOUR OPINION ANYWAY!. Have a nice evening :)

[@ReviewedbyRob]

There will be a clause in their contract with Liqui-Molly that says they won't promote any other suppliers of products they make which will force them to blur things like Castrol

[@CosmicSamurai92]

I wonder if you could turbo the thing instead of supercharger, like one of those 2JZ Turbochargers. All in All, I think you should put it in something interesting. Like a 350Z, or an E30.

[@Mardy72]

They are going to turbo it.....he mentioned Garrett at the end of the video, and Garrett don't make superchargers. Also, The 2JZ had 2 turbos.

[@gamingavenue6405]

@Mardy72 some people swap it for a single turbo and still make more power
