My CHEAP Jaguar's Engine Has A MASSIVE Problem... AGAIN

Last week I thought 2003 Jag S-Type powered by the 3.0 Duratec, with a 5 speed manual was the best car to work on. The engine bay had some clever engineering in it and everything could be repaired in minutes. Then I had to take the upper intake manifold off, I've done plenty of worse jobs but it wasn't easy in the slightest. As I kept tearing down the engine I found another massive problem, and this one is NOT easy to solve.

The prior owner did not maintain the car. It is hard to believe that the past owner did not properly care for this car. Please consider replacing the timing chains, tensioners, and see if the water pump is original and replace it. I love the design of this Jag and always wanted one. It seems that this is the right time to do this work since the valve covers are already off. This is a challenging project and I know you will continue to correct the deficiencies.

@joeymullen8919 Год назад

While you have the intake manifold off be sure to check the intake manifold runner O-rings. They’re located at the back of the intake manifold. They are very hard to get to when the manifold is on the car and can cause a oil to drip on to the exhaust manifold and result in an annoying smell in the cabin. Good luck !

@Felipe-lp8tl Год назад

That timing guide's service would make a great content

Id REALLY recommend taking the oil pan off when you do the guide to clean the oil pick up. My 2002 Lincoln LS V6 had a guide give out, and it clogged the pick up. Making it destroy a rod bearing.

Champion sells a one piece replacement spark plugs for the 2004-2011 F150 5.4 three valve Triton engines. It eliminates the possibility of the spark plug breaking in half like the Ford design.

I have this engine in my 2010 Fusion, but mounted transverse. It seems no matter how the engine is mounted the valvecovers are a pain to pull. That being said the 1st engine in my fusion lasted around 225k before I swapped it when I had to replace the 6F35 transmisison.

@alwolschleger7242 Год назад

Can confirm, getting those intake manifolds off of the 2.5s and 3.0s from that era is a dumb job, and getting those valve covers out ain't great either. Yes, yellow upper intake gaskets are factory, and those are known to leak. Replacements are green. It'll be worth it, though. My first X-Type at 146,000 miles hadn't ever been cracked open either. Luckily I never had to deal with the chain guides-thing looked danged good inside and way better than yours outside! Replaced the gaskets and plugs, and that thing gave me another 20,000 miles of good service before I sold it. Second X-Type (3.0 manual) had 128,000 miles on it, and that thing looked new inside. Once you get that all sorted out, that thing'll be a runner for a good long time!

I own an 05 XK-8 convertible and I just love the car. Yes, it has had its share of problems, but nothing like the 93 XJ-6 that I had with its electrical issues. The wreched convertible top hydraulic leak which I fixed myself with the better hydraulic lines. The rear quarter window assemblies were replaced and upper shock mounts. I had two coils go bad so I replaced all of them including the plugs. The old NGK Iridium plugs were actually in great shape. A lot of people in my neighborhood like loud exhaust that shakes my house. But I much prefer the softer, but powerful Jag exhaust that Ford put on these cars. I also prefer the naturally aspirated engine with its raw horsepower over the cars with turbos or superchargers which I call "artificial horsepower".

@Lionsgate_888 Месяц назад

I owned this type Jag for 4 years, drove it to 100,000 miles after 4 years. All I did was change the oil every 3000 miles and drove it easy, not like a maniac. Not one problem.

@jimduring342 Год назад

When I worked at a GM dealership in the '70s, I learned that the safe and easy way to start sparkplugs into the head is by using a section of 1/4" vacuum hose over the connection to turn the plug. Keeps you from cross threading and extends your finger's reach! Try it!!!

I remember putting a set in my 2000 focus with the zetec engine. It developed a bad misfire 2000 miles later and when I took it in for service (had a long warranty) they showed me a few cooked plugs. Threw some coppers in and it ran great again. Probably a specific case for me, but I haven't touched a Bosch platinum since.

@84gssteve Год назад

@@05milmachine90 There are a lot of engines/ignitions systems built to run on specific plugs and nothing else. Stock plugs on Dodge/Chrysler engines of the 90/00s are often Champion copper plugs of the bare-bones variety. They will misfire and throw codes on anything else. Keep it stock OEM with electronics/sensors/ignition on modern cars... even when it seems like an upgrade is in order.

@Stressless2023 Год назад

Yeah I'm in Michigan too and I had a clean one of these back in 2015 that I bought for I think $700 (silver 2000 S-Type 4.0) and couldn't believe how good it looked since S-Types were already turning into rust buckets even then - The owner did THOUSANDS of dollars worth of work to the engine with receipts, mostly timing chain related, and just let it sit in his driveway for a year before posting it on Craigslist for almost free when I saw it lol... I stupidly drained and refilled the trans fluid as preventive maintenance right after buying it and it started slipping right after smh. Sold it for a profit still though lol.

@MrPabsUk Год назад

All the Jags you`ve had have had a common theme, either maintained badly/wrongly or not at all, this one is no exception, & yet, it was running reasonably well. A lot of cars specify they should have the timing chains, guides & tensioners changed at 100k, & they get done, but for some reason people rarely bother with Jags, I don't know if its because of the faster depreciation that makes people reluctant to spend money looking after them, that is an issue in the UK, or, its mechanics adding 50% "because its a Jag", which puts people off. Plastic timing guides deteriorate quicker if you don't change the oil enough, &, if you use the wrong oil, as the plastic breaks down faster.

@willmcpherson3760 Год назад

Ford and Jags of that vintage are netorious for failed timing chains guides due to the use of that inferior red brittle plastic. The updated guides are white and have a more robust nylon material

I don't even remember these cars being available with a manual in the US so it's gotta be incredibly rare.

@mpetersen6 2 месяца назад

I'm guessing here that these are not going to be a collector's dream car. In my mind the standard solution would be an LS of some variety. Cheap, of acceptable reliability, reasonably compact especially given the displacement (1). Parts readily available. Second option. A Ford Windsor. More compact than the LS due to the short deck height. The drawbacks. One depends on where you live. If it's a location requiring yearly emission testing your stuck. A second drawback is resale. The buyer must live where emission testing is not needed. 1) As much as OHV engines get ragged on by the purists. They are much more compact than the equivilant displacement DOHC V-6s or V-8s. Plus as much as a DOHC 4 valve set-up has better RPM capability let's be honest. Just how much time does the average vehicle driven on public roads spend in the upper RPM range. 5%? Less? More than likely. A track car is a different proposition. But even then if it is a car meant to be driven between home and the track. And back or the occasional cars and coffee type event. It's going to spend more time puttering along at low rpm.
