XJR6 Engine Bay Makeover
Hello, everyone,
My engine's cam cover was not immune to the corrosion our Magnesium covers attract so I thought I'd try cleaning it up a bit.
I removed and sent out the cam cover and supercharger duct along with their corresponding bolts for silica blasting and powder coating. At the same time I took the fuel rail cover, coil cover, and corresponding bolts off, and brought them to a local collision centre to be painted the car's ice blue body colour.
The results are pictured below. I'm still on the fence regarding whether or not to put some colour into the letters of the coil cover and SC duct so for now I'll leave it.
Special thanks to forum member, Gus, for his Web site in which he's gathered the more common .pdf files from multiple venues, and put them into one spot for people to access. I used the files for proper torque specs on all the bolts. His site is JagRepair.com - Jaguar Repair Information Resource
