Hey Bro, Thanks for sharing your skill and effort, please tell me whether timing the engine is required after changing head gasket or can it be avoided after carefully marking everything and placing everything back in the correct order? Thanking you greatly
Great video. I have done the same job and he's right, the a/c and p/s brackets were a nighmare. Anyone considering this job, I would remove the engine first, it's a piece of cake with the engine out.
I've got a 2000 lincoln ls v8 with the same motor that has a bent valve on the driver's side. Is there any way to get that side head off without completely removing the front cover (e.g. maybe loosening it a bit)?
I remember when I had to do a timing chain on the Lincoln LS 2001. Man that AC bracket was a pain in the ass. Bit after sitting there and observing for a while I made a easier way to remove it. And those two pumps on each side were kind of hard to but I got it all done. Same platform.
Hey Marc, where do you work in southern Cal, I have a 2013 Jaguar XF 3.0 S/C, 68,000 miles with either a blown head gasket or a cylinder three fuel injector that needs to be replaced. These are the two diagnosis I received by two separate mechanics here in Thousand Oaks, CA. Wondering if you’re nearby to me and if so if you can look at the car and give me a quote on the repair?
How many miles or km did it get ? I have to diagnose mine properly but I think one head gasket broke at 254k km. Im gonna do the job, just love that car so much
Hey brother,nice job,and nice filming also.I've been a tech for over 20 tears,but almost all was ford,or chevy.Sure,i did some imports as well,but never anything this big.I'm about to undertake some headgaskets on a Jaguar,for a fellow brother/neighbor,and i'm a little nervous.But I loved your little positive spin at the end,"It's all nuts and bolts,at the end of the day".So it seems i'm gonna have to mark basically everything,when it comes to those timing chains/gears etc.
The Wanderer yes mark everything with with a small punch. And a paint pen on the chain. What i do is mark my cam phraser to the cam caps than I make the chains where they sit in the phraser. Good luck
Thank you very much,for your kind reply.To be honest,i've done very little work on European cars,after a really bad experience,on one.(Someone,instead of replacing/or removing a thermostat,just TAPPED it,so it would get stuck in the block! Lots of fun,trying to fish that out,it lodged behind the water pump,ergo,no circulation.) The one i'm working on is an 07,I believe.SO,make sure I paint the timing gear/chain tooth location.Also to number the cam phraser,and caps,in the order they come out.For ex.,front to back,ie. 1,2,3, etc. Sound about right? Unfortunately,it's an "at home" job,with no air hose,no lift,etc.
I wonder if you’ll see this. I plan on buying a 2003 jaguar s type r with a blown head gasket. How much would this much work run from a good shop? I’m located in Southern California
The Euro Mechanic ah I went to a shop like that by me when I owned my Range Rover p38 and s type 3.0 and 4.0. I’m about an hour from you in the inland empire. I currently have 2 jaguar sport wagons and the s type r is definitely a contender just depends on what the head gasket would run
Just realized this replied from my other account but yea I’m about an hour away. Same person who asked a few days ago but apparently I have 2 TH-cam’s haha
Wassuupp brody. Dig what u do man. Actually amazes me. I am in tech school now for cars and trucks. 3 months in. Own a 2008 civic coupe and im nervous about jus changin a pulley and small front engine mount. No way could i take off those jaguar parts and remember exactly where they go once its time to reassemble. Jus how man. I jus pray i can one day be on this level. Needed this. Dont teach about the bolt fighting and out the box thinking in school.
Your vid makes taking the heads off, look simple. I have a XJ8. Believe me when I say 'head removal' is a tad more difficult when the hood latches at the front and lifts from the back. -sigh!
Anyone else in CALI does this type of work… ON JAGUARS lol a lot of people are scared to even go near them. I would do it myself but I don’t have the required space nor tools :/
EuroMechanic: I have a 2014 Jaguar XJL, looking for Mechanic to work on it, how can I know if they are legit and have worked on Jaguars. All the European mechanics I called say, yeah, and get offended when I ask, " If you don't mind, how is the oil change done on an XJL ? :-)
Too much tools, too much beautiful workshop, but if you remove the engine with the gearbox together for below the car, the job was did on half of that time without fighting. Remove the front helps too, its ease. But nice and clean execution, thanks for upload the video.
I also think that would be best; i think the reason he didn't do it is because he's on the job and time is essential that and not having the necessary room to have the entire engine on a engine stand. I wonder what was the final invoice of the total job both parts and labor. anyone that has done a head gasket job knows that replacement parts are always needed not just the two head gaskets.
Ok nice. I'm thinking about buying a 2003 Jaguar XJ8 sedan 4 door with a 4.0 V8. The dude says it has a blown head gasket. How much would you charge to do this job? I'm definitely not fucking with it after I look to your video

subbed . Love watching a mechanic/tech's with good hands and above all brains
Ross Charlie thanks man! Really appreciate that comment 👌🏼

It really is though
I can take that apart no problem. Getting it back together correctly? Well thats another issue entirely.
Was that a bmw they pushed into place?
Yup!

How many hours did this pay?

Good job 👏👏💯. Nice and clean 😊

How did you remove both exhausted manifold?
Hey is it better to take off the whole engine and transmission.. I feel that way you can be more organized when you take apart the engine
Do you think it’s better to remove engine to do heads on that?
You just convinced me to just scrap out my 98 XJ8. I’m not dropping that kind of cash on any car!😭
excellent work man :)

the hardest part will be the removal of the ac compressor and the bracket that attaches to the block. which blocks the timing cover being removed
Got it,thanks again brother.I might hit you up for a question or two,should I get stuck...if you don't mind.
It's a damn shame the amount of work it takes and the amount of parts you have to remove when doing work on these modern engines.
How many miles was on the car when the heads went out?
Between 0 and 3 million miles.
Facts.
Words.
Where is your shop located?
Huntington beach
what you using to record?
madtech10 GoPro hero 5 black
I wonder if you’ll see this. I plan on buying a 2003 jaguar s type r with a blown head gasket. How much would this much work run from a good shop? I’m located in Southern California
where in southern cali, i work in huntington beach, we specialize on jags & rovers

The Euro Mechanic i got two jags 04 xtype and 04 xj vandenplas i need work
It's the simplest job ever! Just have the right tools. Ppl exaggerate and say oh its Jaguar. 😂

How are your doing now Ralpha? Are you a mechanic yet?
X350? That's one hell of a job! X308 looks a lot easier but well beyond me! 😀
What was the total Maitenance hours on this job and price for the labor and parts?🫠 I might need to do this with my jag🤦🏽♂️
how many miles on yours when this happened?

where are you located
@@marcgreenmountain6062 I am on Long Island , NY
Damn bro your a beast

Damn you are good props
I don't see what's the sense of the video if you trying to teach and show people how things are supposed to be working on this car in fast mode
I think the title describes exactly what is going on in the video
Where'd you get the idea he was trying to 'teach' anything?
I din't see anything wrong with the head gasket from here, All i fix anymore is JUST 4 cylinder cars.
I wish I had a garage…. I have the opportunity to purchase a 2005 S-Type 4.2 V8 with 74 k miles with a blown head gasket…. for a 1000$.
Wow
If you take the engine out I think much better
I also think that would be best; i think the reason he didn't do it is because he's on the job and time is essential that and not having the necessary room to have the entire engine on a engine stand.

@@JonathanLopez-us7yy A quick google search estimates $2,500 to $3,000. I may have a more exact total depending on what my mechanic says next week.
This is a BMW
The music makes this annoying to watch
they have a mute button
Lose the crappy 'music'.
lose the crappy comment?
Video not bad, music sucks. What makes u think most dyi like rap.
Ok nice. I'm thinking about buying a 2003 Jaguar XJ8 sedan 4 door with a 4.0 V8. The dude says it has a blown head gasket. How much would you charge to do this job? I'm definitely not fucking with it after I look to your video
