If it is true to form for a V12 Jag... each head has a seized exhaust valve, so you would have to pull BOTH heads... and you need to pull the engine because the only way to pull the heads is to use a head press tool to jack the heads off the studs.. don't forget the cam drive chains [two sets] down the front of the engine... On the other hand, you will become world class in your ability to cuss..
