Great info, exactly what I needed. Doing the head gaskets and timing on my wife's 2006 LR3. It would be much harder to figure it out without your videos, thanks!!!
I'm a mechanic that has purchased an XJ8 Jaguar and finding a (GOOD) Video was not easy, Yours was 100% !! Thank You guys, BTW Frankenmuth Auto Fest every year. 39 Buick Custom Coupe Chopped 4", Harley Davidson "Black Cherry"
Thnk you for sharing your experience. But I want to ask...pls can I set the piston No. 1 at TDC without the slotting tool then make sure the Cams are flat.??? Will it affect anything?
Hey Nat thank you so much for taking the time I greatly appreciate you sending that message it always puts a smile on my face when people that say nice things to me God bless have a great day
Thanks for the video. I'm in middle of rebuilding 4.2 super hard w same configuration as your motor . I followed the shop manual and all the steps to time the motor. After I remove the key and locking blocks I spun the motor by hand and the key hole is slightly off . Is this normal ? I've done this twice now and I'm not certain it's correct . And advice would be great
Yes, I do believe it is if I remember correctly it’s been a couple of years. This season on the show we’re actually doing a 6.2 swap on that LR three so that should be really interesting. That engine ran great for a number of years and then I’ve let it overheat one time and now it’s poo. Poo. … I bought another one for it but I just recently decided that my 6.2 driveline would be much cooler inside that…. So we’re gonna do a sponsored build this year.
@@sharpcarco My motor never overheated . I had 235k miles on it and gave it to a speed shop to freshen up. I've never timed a motor like this and don't know if what I did is correct . As you can imagine I'm paranoid to close it up and reassemble the car. Are you I Florida ? I'm really in a spot here cause I can't find anyone to help me out.
Hi Clay...so when removing the crankshaft pulley can you just use that keyway to hold the flywheel or would it be too much torque trying to remove the 25mm bolt?
I’m not sure exactly what you’re saying. It’s been a couple years, but I had to of gotten that sucker off somehow and I would’ve had to of held it someway.
Don’t remember now. But if you message me on my Clays ac and Auto Repair on Facebook. I can send you the pages out of my book for setting the timing etc. etc. It won’t happen till during the work week
Hi Clay, thank you for the LR3 videos. I am a new DIY guy wrenching on my LR3 4.4L engine. I am trying to change my head gaskets. I have the valve covers off, and ready to go further. I am worried about messing up timing when removing the cams to get to the heads. Can I mess up my timing by changing the head gasket?
Well I appreciate the kind words you definitely have to remove all of the timing to do the head gaskets. Because you will not be able to seal up the front timing cover correctly after removal or during removal and if for whatever reason the timing actually moved you would not know it even if there was a way to hold it during the procedure at least that I am aware of. So better be safe than sorry if you’re doing the head gasket you have to remove just about everything like I was doing in the video of removing the engine Unfortunately I do not have a video I’m just doing that. My LR three head gaskets blew last week but I’m going to swap out the engine because I have another one. That is an extremely complicated job if you believe you can do it I’m certain you can. I personally prefer not to do it that’s why I’m not removing mine and doing just a head gaskets.
I have a 4.2 Supercharged and am trying to get the head bolts out, but it feels like something is going to break! I got the 2 middle ones on the left head to crack, but wont turn so far. I'm so afraid to put more pressure because the breaker bar and small extension on the impact 13mm socket moves almost 45 degrees and still not turning. I've broken 1/2 inch drive breaker bar before, many years ago, and it reminds me of this. Not sure if it's the breaker bar, small extension, or, my biggest fear, the actual head bolt twisting that far without breaking loose? Ugh!!!! If the bolt breaks, then the untorque sequence is screwed and may warp or crack the head before getting the others loosened during the un torquing sequence. It's not like you can squirt some liquid wrench in there. That's the most Q's I've ever typed in one sitting!!!!!!!
First I would try to break loose every single bolt before I take them out and get all of them broke loose at one time then start removing them . Also I wouldn’t think anything about breaking the bolts because it’s not gonna matter you have to get the head off. And I would have to think that the bolts would not break off flush with the block . So once the pressure is removed I would assume you would be able to get the bolts out. No I don’t know if the 4.2 is the same as the 4.4 but worst case scenario I would have to guess you may end up removing the cams and cutting the head bolts off that’s very rare but possible. Hopefully some of that helps you sorry to take so long to answer That’s a lot of Q’s lol
@@sharpcarco I did it this morning when it was much cooler and was successful at removing them all in the un torque sequence. Thanks for the feedback. The heads are now at the machine shop for the next 4 or 5 days. Time for the clean up and prep work.
Thank you very much !! Welcome to the channel, sorry to say it out of print but it was made by auto data 11-170 Autodata 11-170 Timing Chain and Gears Manual www.amazon.com/dp/B005MVAWKU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_771M9GAYA9F3HF30FFDM
One more question where is the oil pump located on the engine if you don't mind answering I need to change my oil pump I think but fist I will replace the vavle cover gaskets due to leakage and it tells me low oil pressure not sure if valve covers can cause suck a thing
It is under the crank pulley behind the cover not a simple job in any means, I know there’s lots of information out there but not very many videos that I’m aware of
Oh yes they definitely can come out without the timing cover coming off I’m not certain about the right hand drive I’ve only worked on left hand drive but I would assume but at this point I can only guess
hi Ruben glad to see you watch the video. You don’t want that chain to break you should do it before it does. Make sure you get the timing kit. It’s not an absolute must but it certainly will make it easier.. much easier.... I bought a cheap one it made it lineup extremely close. Although if I had it to do over again I probably would I have bought a little better one than one I did.
Well I appreciate you taking the time to write that Luke I’ve already shot the video of the front timing cover removal while the engine is installed I just haven’t got it edit it out yet it is quite the task if you have not tackled it yet but it will be very helpful and I will eventually shoot better video of the timing chain installation and go over some of the problems that may happen if you use the cheap Chinese tool God bless have a great night thank you very much
Well if I did not give you the torque specifications that’s because I was able to find them on the Internet. And people contradict everything I say so I apologize for other people.
I downloaded LAND ROVER WORK SHOP MANUEL, it has all of that info in it. I was trying to hyper link it to you but for some reason I can't . so google land rover work shop manuel it should pop up.
Robert Talbert Can you send The hyperlink to my Facebook messenger please ? I’ll put it in the descriptions for people. Claysacandautorepair , Facebook
Yes, if not, very close to it. It’s in the same engine Family (Jaguar AJ-V8). Most of the Jaguars (S-Type, XJ, XK up to around 2010) used the 3.9 (Lincoln LS)/4.0 & 4.0 supercharged/4.2 & 4.2 supercharged. The Range Rover, sport, and LR3 (3rd gen Discovery) all used the 4.4 version from 2006-2009. RR SC used the 4.2 SC as well.
Thanks for the video! I have taken my engine apart a couple of time to set the timing but never got it quite right. I am always getting code p0011and p0021. After watching your video, I learned that I had the crank key in the 5 oclock position instead of the 6 oclock position. Well, I'll be tearing it apart in the morning and hopefully everything will come together. Thanks a lot guys!!!!
Please please let me know how that goes.... thanks for the kind words hopefully we did not do it wrong..... Ours had a little bit of a tick when we put it back together but on the passenger side head and we had a bad tensioner on the upper timing chain for the Cam
hello guys, just to give you all an update, I tore the engine apart this morning and followed yall directions and PO, DING got it running very smoothly. Once again I would like to say thanks for the video and information. Continue to educate those who are willing to learn!
@@sharpcarco The truck runs great, I took it out on the road today and it ran phenomenal!!! The only difference I did was to use the special tool on the exhaust sprocket to take the slack out of the primary chains.
hi fella's. i don't want to be doom and gloom, but i've been watching loads of these videos as i have mine to do and at 7minutes in i was looking at the two cogs on the crank shaft and noticed the teeth are lined up. other videos have mentioned that they should not line up as they have dots on one side and they have to be a certain way round.just thought i should mention it.

Do I need to remove the ac compressor to remove the timing cover?
Yes

@@sharpcarco how did you remove the crankshaft pulley bolt without the pulley spinning
IMPAC and the crank holder tool for setting the timing
What mileage or miles did the engine have when they changed the timing chain?
Well, they’re not supposed to need service but if I remember right I had to service mine about 125,000 miles
Awesome video !
Wish would be a little longer
2 or 3 parts video.
Thx
Yeah, unfortunately nobody would watch it. Maybe in the future, though it definitely won’t be two or three parts, though.
Does the chain have timing marks to match the sprockets?
Don’t remember now.
But if you message me on my Clays ac and Auto Repair on Facebook. I can send you the pages out of my book for setting the timing etc. etc.

Quick question. Did you have to fift cab to remove engine? Or its possible to remove it without lifting whole cab?
No I did not there is video of us removing the engine on my TH-cam page
I have a question, can you help me brother?
I can try but it’s best if you ask it on my Facebook messenger
Does the oilpan need to be removed to take off the lower timing cover
I don’t remember but I’m doing one in a couple weeks I’m sorry I wish I had a better answer for you
Looking at the timing cover that I have sitting on the floor it does not look like you need to pull the oil pan out to remove the timing cover
Thanks for the info and reply cheers m8
