Hello everyone, first Jaguar of mine personally. As a mechanic I have worked on several of them. Purchased this 2002 Jaguar XJ8 4.0L from a gentleman that was going into the hospital for surgery and didn’t want his wife dealing with it in case he doesn’t make it. A little about the vehicle; it has around 230,XXX miles and it has the updated chains obviously, however this particular unit suffered head gasket failure. No compression on multiple cylinders, yanking the heads off now and transporting to the shop tomorrow.
