IIRC, and that’s a dangerous thing as this was 40+ years ago, but on the 3.8 and 4.2 OHC inline sixes Jag had, after you measured valve clearances and determined that adjustments were called for, you removed the timing chain, both timing (cam) gears, and then the cams (one at a time.) Then you removed the tappets and followers, took the little spacers/disks out of the tappets, miked them and recorded the thickness. Then you took the clearance you measured, subtracted the specified clearance from the total of the measured amount and the disk thickness, and that told you how many more thousandths you needed to get back to spec. Then you got your tray of disks and found a thicker one that took up the slack/difference. Do that for each valve, rinse, repeat for the other cam. As I recall it was an 8 or 10 hour flat rate job. You could do it pretty quickly, relatively speaking, once you got the hang of it. I can recall doing a 3.8 in a day or less. -D > On Dec 14, 2021, at 3:14 PM, mitch--- via Mercedes > wrote: > > Inverted bucket cam followers? > > Saab had those on their first inline 4 (same engine would later end up in the > TR7). > Except they were kind enough to put a bracket on the block that lined up with > the cam and put a threaded hole in the center of the sprocket. > You took one cam sprocket bolt out, used it to bolt the sprocket to the > bracket, then took the other two bolts out, unbolted the cam bearings and > lifted the cam off the buckets.

Re: [MBZ] OT car has been seating no title was abandoned at a shop when the guy didn’t pay on it about 10yrs ago 1987 Jaguar XJS V12 Coupe 2D,$1,500
Inverted bucket cam followers? Saab had those on their first inline 4 (same engine would later end up in the TR7). Except they were kind enough to put a bracket on the block that lined up with the cam and put a threaded hole in the center of the sprocket. You took one cam sprocket bolt out, used it to bolt the sprocket to the bracket, then took the other two bolts out, unbolted the cam bearings and lifted the cam off the buckets. Then lift out buckets and swap out shims to adjust. Put it all together and measure clearances again.

Me too. An XJ6. I saw a new one - Burgundy with a tan leather interior and have wanted it ever since. Not certain what year but likely early 70's.

Do the V12's have hydraulic lifters? I remember the flat rate for setting the valves on the 6 cylinder XKE as 8 hours.

The older models, (XJ140, XKE, etc.) were fairly easy to service, as raising the bonnet pretty much exposed the whole engine and front frame. You just had to be careful not to bang your head on the XKE bonnet. XKE bonnets were very heavy and not well balanced as far as the pivot point for opening them. I loved working on XKEs, it was like working on a vintage domestic car where you could almost sit in the engine compartment. Except for the front of the engine, that was one area that was tight. If you want tight, try working on an XJ12. Much like this car, there was barely enough room to extend your fingers into the gap between the side of the engine and the inner fender. G-d forbid you have to work on the front of the engine, like a water pump. That involved practically removing the front clip. -D > On Dec 13, 2021, at 7:24 PM, OK Don via Mercedes > wrote: > > We had an XKE in the shop I worked in while in school.

Go look at it. Open the hood and study how it would be to actually work on the engine. Try slipping your hands in to the available space, and holding a wrench or a ratchet, then pull or push with force to remove or replace any component you choose [if you own it, you will replace them all, soon]. Carry plenty of Band-Aids and running shoes on this trip Then, decide just how truly bad you want to own one Then put on the running shoes and run away, quickly.
