Great Video!!! Do the timing set soon, I know it's over 200,000 miles. I have done about 150 timing sets on 4.6, Panthers, F150, Expedition, E150, T-Bird, etc. The timing chains will still be fine, its the tensioners, tensioner arms, and chain guides that will be broken or worn out. No need to change the timing cover crank shaft seal, but yes change the timing cover gaskets. As soon as you pull the timing cover off grab all the old globs of RTV where the heads sit on the block. You will need a harmonic balancer pulley puller and 4.6 cam holding tools. These cars are super easy to do the timing on. Leave the power steering pump pully on and lines on, just loosen the last bolt out as you lower the PS pump down away from the engine. Alternator stays on, belt tensioner stays on, water pump stays on-but remove the water pump pulley(loosen those 4 10 mm bolts before you pull the belt off). leave the crank position sensor in the timing cover-just unplug it, loosen the valve covers and tilt them up 8 inches(you can leave the rear lower bolt 1/4th the way in on each side bx that bolt is hard to restart and still tilt the valve covers up, remove the front 4 oil pan to timing cover bolts.
@@alexandrecouture2462 Thanks! Nice work on replacing the front ones on your XJ40 bet it feels so much better! I need to replace the rear shocks on my moms Jaguar next
@@XJJesse I love your videos. Normally they give me nightmares over what could happen to my Grand Marquis. :) It's kinda like going to see a horror movie - you want to watch but it scares the c*#p out of you anyway.

That's a beautiful job 👏 👌 Jesse. I will say it again you are the best 👌 👍 Jesse..you the man.
Good job! It's so much better with new shocks. I replaced the front ones on my XJ40 over the weekend.

@@XJJesse Yes! Don't forget to order the foam things in the rear shock assembly.
That was slick.
@@stevekemble8911 Thanks ! The Rear shocks are much easier to replace than the front ones. Very simple

Very helpful video thanks! What wheel and tire setup are you running? I'd like something similar for my 2005
Can you do rear shocks on the Jaguar X300 next?
