- This video is the first part of rebuilding the 4.2L Jaguar head from a 1968 E-Type Series 1.5
The first step in the process required building a fixture that would allow us to safely and securely fixture the head on our machines to do the work. This was made possible with the help of our newest sponsor, WAZER.

hell of a resume just pull up your channel lol
The owner/shop fixing the jaguar really hired the right people.
Thank u
It’s his dad shope
He has talented sperm
@@luxdam2180 he’s meaning the owner of the engine. Or shop working on said engine…
Loving how satisfying it looks when the remaining foil of the seat pulls out with a pick
You can add toolmaker to your resume. Great job on the fixture. I have ran water jet machines in my aerospace career. We used them to cut titanium panels for the flight control surfaces on Boeing C17 aircraft. They don't distort the material with heat.
Great work. Nice to see an abrasive waterjet cutter no bigger than a small refrigerator. Lots of advantages: no heat affected zone, smooth finish and no delamination on composite parts.
It’s pretty cool! Great for a shop like ours who doesn’t have space for one but still has uses for one! Also awesome for classrooms or home workshops!
Presumably cheaper than a laser cutter which has a very small heat affected zone.
@@davidelliott5843 Water jets are pretty expensive to run due to the consumables. That's a long time to cut 3 parts like that.
Omax has a smaller machine now that has a 5hp pump that can run on single phase. Still runs at 30k psi like their big stuff, but much lower cost(which is still expensive). But it'll cut much thicker than 1/4" and much faster.
What’s the price point and footprint of it?
honestly I love every video you put out. this one is extra awesome because it shows you competently working to fix an unordinary situation for you. genuine machinist vibes instead of "idk machine does things" mentality. absolutely love people proud of their work
Love the "oddball" engine content.! Id watch pretty much anything that can teach me something... But the fixture and the attention to the jag project lets me know i could send nearly anything your way and you guys would nail it dead on... Awesome as always!
I really enjoy watching you and your Dad working in the shop together. This brings back a flood of memories growing up, working on cars and building engines with my Dad. He was an automotive instructor and one of the engines he had in his shop was one of these very engines. It took forever to get parts from UK for it. RIP, Dad.
I’d be willing to bet that you’ll get more jag customers because of these videos, which means your fixture will come in handy
You might want to look into adding the retainers for the lifter guides. Also Jag had alinement issues at the rear main seal. Line bore and checking the crank for straightness might be in order. Often the rope seal retainer got bored and trued as well. The early 4.2 blocks like the one you are working on had the head studs in the surface of the block. The later motors ran them through the surface, through water jacket and into the block below. Block surface cracking solved. Head stud corrosion and failure became the new problem. Steal through aluminum in to cast iron surrounded by water... What could go wrong? Lol. Removing broken studs from down in the water jacket was not fun. Have fun with that build. Brings back memories for me of past jobs done.
As always, beautiful work.
Your dad sounds like the man!
I always wondered what it would be like to have a dad...and what it would be like to get along and follow in his foot steps.
Me too 😐
It is always such a pleasure to see you guys working! Highly skilled, with best technical expertise and more than that: You have so much passion and love doing this! Just great!
Fascinating machine work and great videography! Make sure you're charging well !
I've heard of Serdi machines before, it was very cool to have it explained, and to see it in action.
As a mechanic i have sent tons of heads to the machine shop. Interesting to see what goes into it and good job on explaining everything in detail and also explaining the how and why for everything in a down to earth way. Some real quality content
A little overkill but gets the job done. Make sure you lock down the lifter bores (a must).
In case you didn't get the valve installed height before you disassembled they are either .848 or .858 on the 3.8 and 4.2 depending on early or late. Cam centerline to tip.
Also if you are going to be adjusting lash yourself it must be checked multiple times and you will be switching lash pads multiple times.
I have many pads if you if you can't get a certain size I may have it.
A grinder and paint make a welder what he ain't! Great job!
I learn so much every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you.
20 years ago I worked in a saw shop. I learned there that even number perfectly spaced cutters cause vibration. This is why a lot of face mills have odd number of cutters. Also, they would cut circular saw teeth spacing by hand because it would make the spacing slightly different between the teeth helping to eliminate vibration.
Thanks, you have a cool job. I don't know about that Wazer waterjet, seemed 2+ hours to make those simple cuts was excessive but I guess you gotta know the machine and all the other reasons you thought it would serve.
Beautiful work. Did a head job on a 2,8l head back in early 80´s in process of restoration of series 1 XJ6. Of course did not have the impressive facilities you have. Got the valveguides out by stepwise drilling out until they could be tapped out, much in same way you did with seats. Heated the head and used cooling spray (as used to locate thermal issue in electornics) and smeared grease and the guides slid in very nicely. Valve seats where ok and was quite satisfied to have done this. No YT in those days so had to read books and talk to pro´s.
Cha-ching!! I repair vintage metric motorcycles. Just like you, the issues that need to be overcome, most people would never know.....
Great work. Great video.
Wow that is cool to the options to fix the block on the Jag can't wait to see where you go with it🤠
Clean processing, clear thinking. Good for you.
What a great team….. Great stuff…. Thanks
SAVE THAT JIG! When word gets out there is a machine shop that can truly and properly machine the Jaguar XK engine, the Jag people and shops that work on classic Jags will come to you. I strongly encourage you to advertise on the Jag forms and Jag user groups.
Holy cow, cant wait for the next jag episode
Wow you guys will be Jag expert’s after this engine. Nice jig you made up. Can’t wait to see what happens with the block! 😊
Those valve guides coming out so easy at that temperature is probably why those clips where used. Not finding them on the exhaust probably doesn't surprise you. Considering all the other stuff you've discovered that wasn't done correctly in this engine by someone else that previously had there paws in it.
Woo! Thanks guys.
Cool machine and nice work. I love the methodical nature of the overhaul.
I couldnt find this channel in a better timing. Super impressed with this jag service and im learning everytime you do a new video. Amazing work by thinking outside of the box!
Looking forward, to seeing the cylinder head getting surfaced. 50 years old and still love seeing that.
I realize Wazer sponsored you with a unit, but I have to point out how crazy inefficient this tool is for this job. 3 hours to make those cuts and a plasma table would have done it in about 45 seconds. The plasma is also a lot less expensive to run, when you consider these 3 parts used *50* pounds of abrasive. That part cost you $75 to cut at Wazer's retail cost for a bucket!
Thanks a lot for taking the time to film edit and share this video, this is Art.
Machining things to perfection, creating parts and restoring things are very satisfying and calming..
Great series so far, can’t wait to see the sleeves for the block
Again , great content with clear narrative and no stupid music.
I catch myself watching the preview for like 6 mins and end up watching the whole video anyways lol, great work
Your dad is a legend
Grinder and paint,makes me the welsee I ain't
I love this more custom specialty work. We have seen enough bores and decks already
I really enjoy watching your videos. You and your father really go above and beyond with the work yall do.
This channel is so wholesome !! Love it
Nice tools. Back in 1980 I rebuilt the head off my Norton Motorcycle. Made oversized guides and seats on the lathe and set up a boring head on a Bridgeport mill. Man that was a lot of work, especially as I had only started using a mill about a month before..:). Ooh, the method I came up with for beating out the guides from the aluminium head was to run a tap in the top side and then thread in a bolt. I could then beat on the bolt from the underside, thus avoid peening over the old bronze guide and broaching out the hole.
This is fantastic. Thank you for all the videos.
Great work on the fixture.
With no rocker arms, it’s surprising to see that much guide ware. Thanks for sharing
There is still a lateral force exerted on the valve bucket (cam follower) that will cause wear in the guide.
BTW, I lover me some Jaguar engines! Thank you Sir William Lyons and team for the finest in-line six cylinder engine ever made.
Amazing work. If I everwin lotto and become a millionaire and purchase a jaguar I'll be sure to come visit. From Australia.. Good to see someone so proud of their work and professionalism.
I bet the owner of that Jag engine is one happy bunny after seeing the quality of workmanship you do here in your shop! Back in the day I used to do a lot of similar work in my race engine building business and I admire greatly the way you go about your work, thanks and I'm looking forwards to more episodes on this Jag recon. 'Sausage' HT Racing Ltd
Great video. Lots of interesting information. Please post more videos!
Grinder and Paint, Makes me the welder I ain't!
This channel and Tony at headbytes are two of the best engine channels
Looks like your jig was a good investment of time and materials. And you’ll likely get more use out of it as classic jag owners are a tight nit community.
Amazing content man!!! I’m so glad you took up this challenge with the Jag block I can’t wait to keep seeing more 😎
Great show . More than I ever thought a machine shop would do. Really like the slow mo.
Just a proper Job...I live a stones throw from JAGUAR LANDROVER rare I see oldies like this,more the New Stuff on trade plates..
I enjoyed watching the valve seats being cut/removed. Can you reuse the abrasive in the cutter?
My God this is so satisfying
You appreciate us?! Shoot, we all appreciate your videos!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
This is fantastic work
It was great to understand de decision Making process
You do magic on those engines :)
Awesome lesson!
This is my favourite channel to watch for geeking out on engine machining. Keep it up guys 👍🏻
I’m not even a decent wrench turner but I am a reasonable cabinet/furniture maker and I think your vids are flippin’ awesome! Thanks for doing this.
Making your on fixtures is pretty cool!!!!
Lots of great stuff - enjoyed watching you set up the Wazer machine. Would like to see more of it
This is why you are a professional 👏. Thanks
Awesome work
Super-interesting, great narration!
Great work and a professional made video. It's always a pleasure to watch and listen to the story behind each and every project!
Your videos are a pleasure to watch. Massively informative and captivating!
Most interesting and very well narrated.
We get the old valve seats out by Tig welding on the inside of the seat which shrinks the outside diameter and the seats come out with screwdriver as a lever…..as long as you are careful no damage will be done to the head.
12:32 I "top my hat" to you. Well done!
Man I have taken in so much from two videos it's like information overload I'm going to have to watch them about twenty times soak in a little each time 😂
I'm not very knowledgeable on engine work so these videos have been a godsend for me I love learning about how things work . You explain everything really well!
I've seen more water jet on the Jim's Automotive Machine Shop channel than I have on the Water Jet Channel in the last 6 months.
I've been following the work you guys have been doing on this Jag motor.
I love your thorough attention to what yous do and look forward to what happens going forward as my understanding is that the engine is a matching numbers block that belongs to a vintage vehicle.
Cheers from New Zealand.
Well done man Nice job
Thanks for the great video, I really enjoy the longer format!
Excellent tutorial, one of the best I have witnessed.
Highly competent machining attention to detail, bar none!
Wasn’t expecting a water jet! Looking forward to more cool tools
Will we ever see the car this engine goes in? I love the show, just wish we had a dyno and see the vehicle it goes! I know this is a tall order!!
Excellent videos and tell your Dad that although your welding may be so-so, your commentary and video production is top shelf 😃
I love the accuracy of your work sir. I wish you were close I would have loved you to machine me 2 engines I rebuilt
Your work is seriously impressive.
I've not had the opportunity to use it yet, but an idea I'd seen for removing seats from an alu head is to put a good MIG weld tack onto the inside of the seat. The shrinkage while cooling will loosen it sufficiently for it to come out easily, supposedly.
I've used this method on bearing races a million times. It works!
@@alantrimble2881 It works other things also. As long as you can get the nozzle of the mig gun into the area that needs tacked.
paper template, torch, and a steady hand. done in under an hour. KISS
Wonderful machining. We usually don't mess with the core plugs anymore as they tend to leak afterwards for not much gain in cleaning. There is a spot in the manual that talks about the seat depth from the back of the cam lobe which is an annoying setup but important as Jaguar only produced a small range of shims.
love watching your channel great video guys.
Fascinating!!
Great job 👍
Nice work
I’m so happy your channel is blowing up and your success with TH-cam
I really enjoy the pace and format of your vids. The algorithm sent me here and I have to say it got the suggestion right 🙂 subbed, I want to see how the jag turns out and more
Very educational, thanks
That's excellent.. would like to learn everything your doing... good job!
