Hi! Will you give me advice please. I have an little oil leak from under the timing chain cover (AJ34S). Mechanic says to replace timing chain cover gasket. For this action do I need to take out the engine? And do I need to disconnect the supercharger?

There is no need to remove the cams under spring pressure. Once the chains are off, just rotate the cams to the "safe position" where all valves are closed.

@dalehuxford4522 My LR3 2006 4.4 with beloved 207k miles on it succumbed to not having good working water pump. I wasn't there when my wife said it "steamed" and smoked a lot. But it started up fine to get it 400 yard to the drive way. Having never seen a blow head gasket nor comprehending the savage outcome, I replaced the water pump, belts and thermostat and housing, but of course got quite a surprise after doing all that work to see that there was some steam blowing out off the left front bank of cylinders and seemed to idle slightly rough. That's when I realized oh, all that steam for a good while my wife said must have been the head gasket. It's been an amazing vehicle we have had for 14 years, and it was running so strong and beautifully. I cried. She didn't go very far on it, and it had the best synt oils, but I worry none the less that this might have done something worse. Suggestions? Thank you sir.

Sorry, hadn't seen this query! I would take the heads off by and see if they're straight or not. You may find a light skim and new gaskets and oil and all is well again. Or, when you get the head off, you might see issues in the bores. Then you have to start making bigger decisions!

@@jamespurdy405 I'd suggest it could be the auto-oil level inhibitor or, simply rubbish from dried fuel in the floatbowl. I've seen float needles gummed up on our generators that we use for annual events. We now empty float bowls and check flow of fresh fuel if it's more than 6 months between uses. The ethanol fuel isn't the best when left for long periods of time.

Hello, are the head bolt nuts 13mm? I have a struggle with one bolt. The nut is going over. It is probably corroded as there is a water leak, probably in that area. I wont loosen the others further, as the head could warp. need help.
@dalehuxford45227 жыл бұрын
This doesn't sound like fun. I can't remember the bolt head size, but unless you've already done it I would buy one of those sockets that work against the flat walls of the bolt head hexagon rather than the points. A 12 point socket is going to just round off the bolt completely. If that doesn't work, you're going to have to very carefully drill the head of the bolt off and hope to pull the head off the bolt. However, there's not enough space in the car to do it, so you'd have to pull the engine out. Ouch. It's usually at this point that I would make another coffee, take a piece of cake, and just stare at the job for a while, waiting for inspiration. If no inspiration arrives, leave it well alone for a couple of days!

@errolmcinnes79385 жыл бұрын
you aren't fixing that. When the tensioner breaks and it shears the timing chain, that causes the piston to smash into the half open valve. Your head is destroyed, and you aren't replacing that for any reasonable sum of money. The cost to fix it is more than the price of a comparable jaguar. Ditch the car. It's not worth it.
