Wonder if that's some sort of glue they're placing on that rope seal. I was under the impression that those were supposed to be soaked in oil for a day or so before installation. They seem to be doing it a different way.
That appears to me to be a specific GM sealant 1050026 similar to hylomar, or maybe it's gasket shellac - AKA Indian Head Gasket shellac as the bottle looks like that. IDK if it would work w/ the rope seal pre-soaked (which I agree was supposed to have been done). I suspect that rear seal will fail and burn the crankshaft fairly quickly.
@@ferrariguy8278 all HE V12 had india made heads and those have quality problems with metallurgy, so dont use any HE V12 (Except you install new valves and valve seats)
unfurtunately we did not see the fitting of the rop seal, there is a second half! rope seals need to be sized in with a special tool. the way they did it they risk the rope seal will be too tight and the crank will get so hot on bearing 7 that the crank will be blue and has to be scrapped. seen it, been there. No 7 bearing shell material might actually melt from this👎. Even if the rope had been sized propperly it would be a good idea to take precautions to prevent the ropes from spinning/moving. not torquing the cam bearings is a bad idea also. we did not see the alignment of the chainguides and the propper cam timing and that chain tensioner looks suspiciously used, deadly mistake. crank endfloat was not checked, could have been interesting since the oversized thrustwashers are NLA, as are decent main bearings ... but it does not really matter in this case because the guy put the thrustwasher in the wrong way round, the copper face needs to face the crank, not the block😢. this crank will be destroyed within a few hours of running, if it is a manual transmission car.💣 All that work for nothing. Sorry, this is not the propper way to assemble a Jaguar V12.
I was seeing the same things, along w/ the rope seal not getting a good soaking in oil first as well. This has the feel of an engine shop w/o specific exp with the V12 presuming they don't need need the background knowledge specific to this engine.

Nice Job! I was holding my breath as you were fitting that infamous crank seal😅
As far as I see, shims are used to adjust the valve clearance of this engine, no hydraulic tappets.

You cant use any V12 Jaguar because these engines are made fom material made in India and drop valve seats any 20.000 KM!!!!

@@Schlipperschlopper Please show the documentation for that. All documentation I have shows castings done in the UK.

These engines did never work they dropped valve seats any 20.000 miles they are crap!
