Ford supposedly improved the metallurgy of the V12 when they took over Jaguar. Wish they would have kept ownership, now it's TATA Motors India I think.

Yes, Ford definitely helped Jaguar and gave the brand more stability and cash resources.

for people that say its a small engine its really not, each cylinder has the same displacement as a 2 liter inline 4. so its like 4 inline 4 engines combined but with the amazing smoothness of a perfectly balanced v12

Perfectly said!

And yet… the 6.0 XJRS appeared in 1990. A stroked 5.3. Jaguarsport followed TWR practice which had been for years to change the crank. I have one, great engine. Jaguar then designed and produced a 6.0

Those early TWR 6 litre cars are fantastic !

You cant use any V12 Jaguar because these engines are made fom material made in India and drop valve seats any 20.000 KM!!!!

That model was made in England@@Schlipperschlopper

sadly not the cylinder head components as valve seats and valves and even the head castings came from overseas, you cant use any V12 Jag engine on German Autobahn because the vales break or the seats drop when yo drive 220 KM/H chasing BMWs@@jimclarke1108

Not much of an engine? It won a few championships: SCCA, Trans Am, European Touring Cars, World Sports Cars, and a couple of Le Mans 24 hours. No, not much of an engine.

any LT1 350 V8 from the 1970s is stronger, Jaguar cheaped out the V12 from DOHC to OHC and to tiny valves....cant use this engine for real power, a Mercedes 6.3 or 6,9 is also better

@@SchlipperschlopperWe all know many V8s are very good motors, as well as the Mercedes and BMW V12s. But that doesn’t take away from the Jaguar V12’s career and legacy through both the 5.3 and 6.0. I am a huge fan of this powerplant, despite its numerous flaws, and I plan to own a Jag with either of these motors.

It really makes me sad that Jaguar no longer has a Browns Lane that makes these engines anymore. They really were a sense of pride for the whole nation. Now its just the ununited Kindoms . Sad.

In Australia we’ve lost our vehicle manufacturing too.

I don't know how they say x number of hours is the same as y number of miles/kilometers

@melitele-buildinga16ftsail88 Жыл бұрын

I expect it will have been based upon cold start - heat up - cooldown cycles mimicking 25,000 miles of "typical" use but with shorter durations of running at operating temperature in between to fit it into 150 running hours. As you'll know, the vast majority of the wear occurs from the cold starts.

All that palova for any extra 25 bhp

@LouGuthryMotors 3 ай бұрын

I do like the extra 25 bhp though

@lewis72 20 күн бұрын

It wasn't. The 5.3 dropped to about 260bhp when it had the cats fitted to it, down from around 299bhp (which some Whitley engineers said was rather optimistic). So going to 6.0 took it from 260 to 318bhp. Admittedly, still rather low compared to modern engines. AMG are getting 345+ bhp out of a 2-litre 4.

@@LouGuthryMotors I was given a 1978 red XJ-S about 5 years ago. It was my uncle's but he was too old to get it back on the road. He had tried to sell it but he got no takes. he was going to send to to scrap but I said I'd take it it to assess it first and then decide what to do with it. It was rotten. Sills were holed. Floor was hold in the front footwell. The were rust spots in other places too. The engine had had its inteke manifolds off and would have needed to be replaced. Overall, I decided that it was too uch, so sold it for spares.
