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.

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.

@JAMSIONLINE Год назад

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.

@randombuilds8336 Год назад

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.

@eformance Год назад

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!

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.

@a1machinista1 Год назад

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.

3 hours cut time on that abrasive cutter is a waste of 2 1/2 hours of time. A hands free torch or plasma torch its a 10 minute job with 20 minutes left for deburing. Time management is money saved or lost. Ive seen other so called water jets. In my experience OMAX is the only brand of water jet to use. Everything else is just a total waste of time and money.

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.

@engineerwrecker8153 Год назад

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.

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.

@ldnwholesale8552 Год назад

I own a plasma cutter and to me it does the same job as a water jet and does it a LOT quicker. For your fixture a steady hand would do it by hand. And that is all I have. It will cut 3/8 though not super clean. And cost $600. As for the rest I have seen those Serdis in action and they are very good. And the operator was as well. Replacing seats however is a bit suss, in alloy they too often fall out as the head has gotten larger. Not operator error but parts and old alloy. In iron I can near guarantee when they are pushed in the pocket underneath will open up the head. I will not have iron heads inserted as it causes too much grief. Bars Leaks helps!!

@ThatPhilBurgGuy Год назад

3hrs for so few pieces? Doesn't seem very effective. I'm not sure how much that machine costs, but for under 2000 bucks you can get a similar size plasma cutter and could have had those pieces cut out in 10 minutes or less.

@bret9741 Год назад

Here is my ¢2 worth of opinion. There is more than one way to skin a cat. I think the direction your considering will work, I’ve not watched the entire video yet. Ok, if it were me doing this, I’d drill the cracks ends v notch the cracks and weld being careful not to enter the water jacket. I hate the idea of not replacing the cracks with a solid material. Brazing also works if done correctly. I think in your scenario, your more comfortable machining and using sleeves with a chemical blond should also work and pose less risk overall.

@alexandrexavier3273 Год назад

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!

@Pyle81 Год назад

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.

@larrysorenson4789 Год назад

The used abrasive can be reused if cutting steel. The material must be thoroughly dried and in powder form and then blown or finely scattered across the new very powerful magnets. This is done up to ten times until the magnets pick up no more steel powder that has been created by the water jet. Microscopic analysis has proven that it is easily possible to remove all the ferrous metal powder leaving the abrasive in pristine condition. This is not for amateurs as any steel powder remnants will damage and erode the nozzle. Since these are replaced periodically minor erosion is to be expected downstream from the manifold where the abrasive is introduced into the water jet. This only becomes cost effective where hundreds of pounds of abrasive are used daily.

@cltcomandr6647 Год назад

@RusselLee Год назад

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.

@Scott_A Год назад

I used to work on ship engines and we would notch the valve to create a gap on each side of the valve and then weld the valve to the seat so we could press out the seat and valve together, not sure if that is something that could be done with smaller valves but curious to see if it would work instead of machining

@RichardMichaelOwen Год назад

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.
