Not saying he is correct but just how many (percent) of F-types have exceeded 65K miles?
And what major upsets did they encounter along the way?
Survey time??
Are you aware that both the 3.0 and 5.0 supercharged engines are used and have been used in both Jaguars and Range Rovers for years? The percentage of F-Types that have exceeded the 65K mark is largely irrelevant because few F-Types are used as daily drivers. But many other Jag and Land Rover models with these same engines are in daily use.
This morning I was driving a 2017 F-Pace with the 3.0 V6 (340 hp)……it is at 80,000 kms with not a single engine issue ever. With proper servicing I expect it to do at least another 100,000.

Yep, the V8 came out in 2009 and the V6 in 2012 and I would hazard a guess they are two of the longest lived engines still in production with very few minor changes and still being fitted to new cars today.

garbage back then and it’s still garbage now. it would be worst in its class but the n63 exists 😂😂😂

Demonstrably untrue; a statement based on one extraordinary case, the cause of which remains unclear (neglect? abuse?...). Your opinion and experience differ completely from those of the vast majority of owners, many of whom have owned more (many more) than just one example of this marque.
You might just be right about the issues with the BMW N63 engine, though.
Yes - experience across the Jag and LR models suggests these engines typically hold up very well.
We put well over 100k miles on the V8 in our Land Rover LR4 and are up around 80k miles in the new Discovery with the V6 SC. Zero issues with either
My 2010 XF V8 SC (with essentially the same engine as my 2017 F Type SVR) is around 80k miles now and still runs like new. So although I have under 20k miles in the F Type I feel confident in the engine
Service and maintain appropriately and don't let them overheat. And they should run and run.
some shavings in the oil first oil change but I was told that is common for a bore. The oil change was at 120 miles on the brand new engine see attached picture.
picture of my chain snapped off…new engine has a much bigger chain … I will be taking the vacuum pump apart and send pics so you can see the damage. Also have my thermostat housing where you can see damage too. Cheap *** plastic is terrible.
picture of my original engine that is toast … ugh … sending it in for a core charge
praying to god that I make it to 1000 miles where I was told I could then give it full throttle … break in procedure is a bitch … hard not going above 4k rpm’s lol
Not sure why Tapa is now thanking the OP (tolson), no mention of them in this thread until now.
tolson, did Tapa supply you with a remanned engine or repair your existing one? Or something else such as disassemble and diagnose the busted engine?

I supplied him with a reman below is a link to a customer putting one of my 5.0 supercharged 0.50 over in his 2014 sport we installed. He put on drag track in Sacramento, 11 seconds time.
I try to keep my word with every single customer and do all I can to assist. Mr Olson will tell you even called multiple times to talk to his shop but they got it together and got his car back.

Thanks for clearing that up.
I guess the engine you sold to tolson was also bored some .50 over stock, is that right?
If so, what is the capacity of that engine?

just a tad over it works perfectly I don’t share much about species of my build it’s what separate my company from the fraudulent ones out there.

Not to worry, easy enough to work out myself, .50 over would take it to 3.040 litres vs stock 2.995 litres.
Not much of an increase in capacity so little if any increase in power or torque expected due to just the increased bore.

Yeah Keith was very helpful throughout the entire process. I will probably hit 1000 miles within the next week or so for the last oil change. Second oil change at 500 had some shavings but not nearly as bad as the first. I'm sure 1000 will have little to no shavings.
I am very curious to get the car on a dyno and see how much extra power it puts out. The only problem is, I didn't have my original engine dynoed so I don't know what I would be able to compare it to lol.
More power means increasing displacement (nope), spinning it faster (nope), or getting more air into it. The last one is possible by porting the heads and/or changing cams. Were either of these mods done? Otherwise, don't expect any measurable increase in power over OEM.
