I love using Zip Lock bags when working on a project. I spent seven-years restoring a vintage motorcycle and the only reason I got everything back together correctly was due to labeled baggies of parts and lots of photos!

When I was younger, not much phased me, but engines are now so complicated I wouldn't know where to start! Well done sir, and I've every confidence you'll get the job done.

Holy crap. Complicated engine. You are brave J.R.

When I tear something apart, I put all the parts in numbered one-gallon ice cream buckets that I have numbered 1 though 30. I save those buckets and use them over and over again. That way I know when I'm putting it back together, that I am close to getting the job finished and the buckets get emptied and the sequence that I took the thing apart.

@watchjrgo I just did the supercharger service a few months ago on my XKR with the same engine. The plastic box device strapped to the back of the supercharger is called the "symposer" and can be deleted since it only serves to send engine noise into the cabin. Its an unnecessary device for a convertible and gets in the way when reassembling. While you have the supercharger out, replace the coolant line running under the supercharger and all the hard coolant lines that are known to fail over time. The supercharger coupler is a spring loaded coupler that fails overtime and can be replaced with a solid version. The Jag engines are relatively easy to work on since they only require a handful of tools.

All those leaves and stuff above the open intakes gave me anxiety!

I had 2 mini-heart attacks and a small stroke just watching you rock that thing and pull it off so you can imagine how out of shape I am and what would have happened if I had tried that nonsense. Grats, you're on the way to an new engine.

AGAIN, THANK YOU for actually trying to do the head gasket first! Ps. If you put some anti seize just a dab on those dowels might be a blessing in the future.. lol

If it’s an LS you can just wing it, the German stuff you’ve gotta label 😛

my original concern would be the actual first problem with the cooling system, there were water pump bearing issues with the early modules though your f-type is the first year, the 5.0 and the 3.0 are basically the same engine minus two cylinders, 5.0 came out in 2010 and the 3.0 in 2013, there have been many water pumps replaced when the cylinder head outlet pipes were leaking, the intake valley will fill with coolant and flow down the front of the engine at the water pump, there are more problems with the plastic outlet pipes than the water pumps, when the outlet pipe fails the rear coolant manifold will drain causing engine temperature sensor one to go dry and the temp gauge will read normal, thus engine overheating, if you remove the outlet pipe, the bottom lip will probably be broken off in the block, you can't replace one with the supercharger on, pulling the head/heads requires special tools but not all of the ones that the factory shop manual says, there are proven shortcuts and there are some things about the timing chain setup that the factory shop manual instructions aren't the best, there are actually only three tools needed, also must consider tappet positions and valve lash, there are aftermarket supercharger nose cone pucks available on line, I've got a factory nose cone assembly that's been run a month sitting around the house somewhere, the 3.0 f-type is fun, 50/50 weight distribution, they came in a 340hp and a 380hp tune, the V8 two wheel drive can be intimidating, R module rules and the discontinued SVR was cool because it made so much beautiful noise, should be a real fun car, don't store it with the top down (causes wrinkles) drop it only when cruising, best of luck

I find this build really interesting, the technical aspect really draws me in.

I’m looking forward to seeing this engine out, I only just learned that it isn’t the 60 degree 3.0 litre AJV6 like in the S-type and X-type, but a mutated 90 degree V8 with 2 unused cylinders left over at the back of the block. Clever but quirky way to simplify development and save production costs for V8 and V6 options….

Good timing. I just bought a Jaguar XJ that needs body work. Learning about a whole new brand of cars! Fortunately I bought the NA V8, so it's a layer less complicated.

Hopefully you can save that engine John. Enjoying the project either way.👍

Interesting video I really enjoyed it and learned something about how super charger works.

Talking about supercharger oil changes is giving me bad flashbacks- the stuff reeks after 30k miles! (That was GM's interval on my '04 GTP) Used a turkey baster with a bit of hose taped to it to suck out as much I could.

Randy found your dodge journey at copart 🤣

Google is your friend, bet someone has a video up about the best way to deal with removing it but looks like you are getting it figured out.

Ford did NOT build or spec this engine. The AJ series motors are British made engines, which at one point came out of a Ford-owned building in Wales that Jaguar LEASED from Ford until 2020. Jaguar had their own section inside the Bridgend plant in Wales with Jaguar employees. After 2020, they later moved production to a non-Ford plant/building. The engines were always developed by Jaguar engineers and not Ford. This is a very, very common misconception. Remember that Ford sold Jaguar back in 2008, as well.

There’s bolt holes on the front and rear of the heads for lifting eyes which you can pull it up and out with.

Ford DID NOT build this engine! This V6 is based upon the AJ V8. When Ford bought Jaguar, they walked in the door and discovered that Jaguar had a beautifully designed 32 valve V8 ready for production. Initially, they were going to shelve this design since they had their own 32 valve V8 also ready, but they realized how good the AJ engine was so they simply put it into production. Ford has "tweaked" the design, but the reality is that it is nearly all Jaguar. Fun video!

It wouldn't be a Jaguar if something didn't rust or corrode itself onto the engine and not want to be removed. At least it wasn't one of those 5.3 V12's that fused its cylinder heads to the block and caused the engine to be scrapped.

Great content as usual but there was some kind of auto focus issue for most of video.

Stuff those intakes with paper towel and vacuum up all the loose debris before filming to handle loose hoses. It looked like the garbage wanted to fall in there.

It's a Jag - the coupler has to be in backwards. You have more confidence than me. I'd have paper stuffed in those intake runners cuz the first chance some rando bolt or debris would find their way down one. Just a law of physics.

I know Whipple made many superchargers for Ford in the day. That said, it wouldn't surprise me if Eaton made some as well. At 1 short time, Whipple made a unit for the Ford 3.0l. I could never understand why Ford chose such a thing and not the 4.0l SOHC, I have 0 idea. Just my thought.

JR, Why in the hell do they make an engine so complicated? I am old school ... even with a blower on a SB chev a fourth grader can put it together. But this Jag is a science project, I know with the clean air thing, you got to make it clean for the EPA, But Damn .... If I had this Jag all that crap would come out and all the wiring and a SB Chevy would go in and a hot rod wiring harness. And then you would have a fast car and EASY to work on.

😂😂😂 man if I was a mechanic I wouldn't want nothing to do with those cars in my shop I want zero interaction with it

Why not the engine removed by losing the the subframe and struts, lowering it completely as the engines in the Factory were put in from underneath?

Just a daft question but why didn't you go online to check which bolts are specific to the supercharger, so it cuts down on your time. But you have to admit it's a shame someone drove the miles out of it, but ever thought of using a mid sized fibber mallet to get the sooper off the engine. ?? So you've got an 'Irish soopercharger' then fitted to your jaguar.
