Jaguar xj8 ( Bad Timing Chain ) Motorcycle/ 4.6 Dohc UPDATE! I have been doing alot lately... I am learning about myself... Where I have strengths and where I have failures.. The Car a Bike life combine is a mess.. I can not find balance.. Its l have to choose and that i do not like ( bikes will loose ), but bike give a way to be a better gear head.. Crown Vic need love and Lincoln towncars and MGM to.. Just have to blend the worlds if possible..
Right on BST,
Thanks for the update, and the shoutout.
I never get tired of watching you hustle.

Thank You for this brother Chuck... The support you give is amazing..I told ya your channel and support will grow very fast.. I am going to check out everone ones videos that they post.. I just dont want to click.. I want to watch and see what is going on.. I can even make video how can I wath them...
BST I see a HUGE increase in your life on the things you do. You are a inspiration. Love your videos, great editing and commentary. Respect and blessings to you..
thank YOU for saying that Sir Charles .. This means a lot to me in many ways... This is a real live journey .. Its a blessing to read this comment.. Man its so hard dealing with the unknown , but we have to stay positive and mobve forward..
Good to see a fresh video, and don't worry about mixing bikes in. They're cool too.
thank you bro i am just giving you guys my journey its hard to leave the bikes out of it... This mean a lot to me John ...
That Jaguar is pretty bad ass. Very clean for the year. A good clay bar and wax would have some amazing results.
It can come back i need a Lincoln town car lmao this would be cool to do, but not right now
@@bstfordchannel923 I would like to get my hands on a good old fashioned Marauder so I can Eaton swap it. Perfect car to take my daughter to school.
@@MikesGarageRoute66 ahhhhh you see the light and THEN I will buy a Mustang... Its only right cause YOU got me to buy (3) 4.6 dohc engines lol
@@bstfordchannel923 Hahahaha. I talked you into the first one my friend. The other two were on you. Now we have to find you an Eaton. I know a guy that has played around with them a little bit...
Okay, that slack in the timing chain explanation on the bike is also a PERFECT description of how variable valve timing works, except that there's a little valve that puts the slack in the chain, and makes the valves open later at high instead of low RPM.
You teach more in 13 minutes than some trade schools can do in 13 weeks.
I love to share info on odd things...this was good explantion but its a therory until proven it is right.. So we have to try this out and see if it works...We have nothing but a deep electrical to go on..
@@bstfordchannel923 It is proven...I had this exact issue on a Chrysler 400. It had no power down low (and one of those stupid nylon gear sets.) Once the slack was taken up, it would do damn near 60 in first gear.
@@wanderinggentile We tried the tentioner theory that did not work but the engine sounds better for sure lol... who doe sthe plastic timing stuff its just CRAZY why automakers do this bro...At least you found out what it was before it went left
@@bstfordchannel923 You're feeling some kind of drivetrain shunt, still. I'm guessing the chain might be stretched a couple of millimeters. That degree or two of slack could be enough to cause spotty driveability when cold and ruin your life hot. It's still like a big cam: if it isn't going fast enough, you don't have enough compression to light the mixture and keep the engine moving, like blowing out a candle. A cold engine is enriched enough to light off.
Maybe this jag will satisfy that need for a town car back on the channel? Gonna be interesting to see you tackle that chain tensioner, looking forward to it.
Towncar ONLY lol... this does not have good head room... It can work and make it cool, but it will be like the Maverick in the end cool looking, but i can not fit comfy
Lot going on! I never thought about how similar those jags are to the panther cars.
Also I really appreciated the clip of your friend explaining how slack in the drivetrain and power train causes those problems. Madr a lot of sense.
And man I know it is hurting your feelings having those engines and not being able to get them in. They look good though!
yup that bike is the engine i rebuilt... i just added the chain tentioner it sounds good ... now his theory did not work... now we thinking of the clutch / valves but this problem was with the bike before the engine got jammed-up soooo this is just TRYINg to find out the issue... Not really easy we thought of everything.. It runs great though
Keep it up!
Thank you for this comment matt .. its tough to do...
Cool video! I was around Jags in the 80s (pre Ford and V8s). They were given a bad rap. A mechanic that knew them could keep them going reliably for really high miles. A mechanic that didn't know what they were doing could destroy one in no time flat! Love the bike angle.
I had a 80s jag the inline six with the chevy trans on it...They where cool they had a flaw when it over heats the valve buckets lift in the heads ( like mine did ) had to do the head over and add bucket hold downs in the head... other than that it was cool car.. people will not like the bikes do to that it isnt Harley , but i am just given you guy a glimps on what is going on behind the scenes..
@@bstfordchannel923
Were the Jags shim over bucket or under? I think all Jags had GM automatics back then. HD is fine by me for other people if that's what they like. I prefer my bikes light, fast, easy to work on, affordable, and good looking, however. I am not a peacock nor do I want to ride in parades. That is HD to me. To truly fix HDs you must address factory flaws, even in brand new ones. Then they are still too heavy with stupid designed chassis!
@@upsidedowndog1256 The buckets over cause when they heat up those buckets can and do hit the came when they raise up.. Then after some time 9 as the coolant and oil mixes ) from the blown headgasket the cranks start to walk ( over tine though ) Bike suppose to be cheap and fun i think people have this crazy idea that they should cost money... I like all the motorized 2 wheel and 4 wheel things out there.. i would ride them all.. people are into what they are into... people will understand what is going on soon..
My father had a 77 Yamaha 750 shafty. Still brags about it being the smoothest motorcycle up to that time. No jerking at all! Are rubber belts better than a chain? I like those blue valve covers! Makes me think I need to do that with my 4 valve. Wait, no damn way I'm taking those things off again. Side note: should I fix air springs on a 95 continental? If I do I get it for free.
Yes the shaft driven bikes are smooth no question about that... Now the belt drive bikes are smooth also ( Yamaha warrior ) has a belt also.. Now the Chain is what i am use to but I think on a v trip engine it isnt as smooth ( feeling wise ) You should do your valve covers but if its dirty dont even bother lmao... It takes so much time to get it right to be honest..
Interesting information bro. I would love to hear you guys at the shop about repairs or different issues that may happen on motorcycles. I have a video for the Vic you would love.
Well that may come up soon dude.. Thinking on how to do that... we just need a camera person or we can film a few things in the lines of that..
you forgot about me bro lol, its good to see you doing well bro
I got ya on the next one... I will not forget ya Brother Jay
@@bstfordchannel923 the best pcm for the 03 is PHD0 that pcm has the best shift points, im putting them in my 03 grand marquis and 04 LX Sport. The LX Sport still has the 03 setup I'll upgrade the throttle body on both cars. The 03 is getting a 3.73 and the aluminum driveshaft like all the other cars. Too bad I can't put a 4V in it, it would definitely look and feel like a Marauder.
Love the Ford/Jag... is that a 3.9 Ford modular motor?? and a 'Bikini Wash' or Wax?? 🤣😂😎
I hate washing another mans bike lmao... Sorry I count not get you on the horn Big Bro...its a odd motor in this it shares the Thunderbird ( remake ) engine.. No head room in this thing its will be at my house for years to come lmao
BST sorry to tell you. This is a great video. Completely left field over the wall. That bike on the dyno you built that?
thank You for this Chris.. people may not like the videos, but I am giving a honest glimps into what is going on... This is not easy balancing bikes and cars..
Im still locked in #1
You forgot About the Bossman
I have you on the next video Big bro... How is your T-top Vic coming along
I thank You for this King!
@@bstfordchannel923 great it a be completely done by December
@@bossmancustomz6891 man i have to check that out
Wassup bro... you know, I always heard horror stories about these Jaguars.. that basically they are very unreliable
they are bad, but i do see a lot of them around still... they cost to much to fix was the main issue...ou can not flip flop parts with other cars... yeah man they are bad
