Smile Hello I am Carlos

Hello, my name is Carlos and I am new this type of forum so forgive me if I don't things properly. I am located in the Tampa, Florida area and have (Grandpa) my 1987 Jaguar XJS-C located here. I have had him since 1995 and has been part of the family since then, Both my wife and and myself love the car but over time the 5.3L V-12 has had its issues. Presently it has a blown head gasket and I would like to have the engine rebuilt to the way it was when I bought it in 1995. I have taken care of Grandpa as best as I could but he is not running now and I would like to revive him. If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.

Welcome again Carlos,

Here's the link to your first Intro post:
https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...-l-v12-226965/

I put links to the XJS model forum in my reply there.

Do you plan to tackle the engine rebuild yourself or are you looking for an Independent Jaguar shop in the Tampa area to do the work for you?

Graham

Hello, Carlos,
I'm sorry your V-12 has a migraine headache. I hope you can get it back into working condition.
