Hey guys so I got a good amount of work done on the jag today. Still awaiting my alignment tool and some more goodies. But I was looking around for a trans cooler and I don't think I'm seeing one. Does the 2000 stype 4.0 have a trans cooler? If not I want to add a large one right away if this is possible. So my driver side small chain snapped upon start up the other day and only ran for 2 sec before I turned off. Today I took a bore scoope camera down the cylinders and there's no signs on impact with the valves. Thank God! Here's a little puc of the carnage.

 

Check this item on ebay. 223799721829

 

Thanks. I have one like so on mine but I thought it was a power steering cooler. I must have followed the lines incorrectly. I'll find out tomorrow when I dive back in. If it is for trans I'll still add a larger one. Nothing kills a trans like heat. There's only 139k on the clock and it ran so good before this. So it needs some love.

 

i think there are 2 cores if you have 4 hose connections. One for steering and one for trans

 

Thanks much. A larger one will be picked up tomorrow as well. Im also sand blasting all bolts and all metal parts are repainting them all black except the bolts. Im not sure if I should paint them or cerakote them I do have some so I may do the bolts just don't want them to rust. Any ideas?

 

any painting you do to the core will reduce heat transfer some. Definitely do not use high heat paint.

 

No not the cool I'm aware of not painting that bit the one I'll be buying is already painted. I'm asking should I paint mu bolts? Like valve cover bolts and all the timing cover bolts ect... im sand blasting them all the clean them up nice and wonder should I paint the heads or the whole thing or not at all. I'd like to protect from rusting/seizing

 

sure ...paint what you want...use good quality paint and you will be amazed at how some paint really pops under the hood

 

Yes. See page 63 in this training guide:

"Transmission Oil Cooler -The transmission fluid is cooled externally by a dedicated oil to air radiator which is mounted in the integral cooling pack between the engine radiator and A/C condenser and below the PAS (Power Assist Steering) cooler."

It's an air-cooled unit, and looks like a small radiator.

 

thank you so much for the book. I found the cooler I am used to a larger unit or a radiator with trans cooler built in. But I will be adding additional cooling since I'm in there already.

Does anyone have a link or a spec book that has all the torq numbers for everything while doing the job?

And I have another question about the idler pullys. There seems to be a pully that has a lip on it and I don't see it listed on rockauto.com where I'm buying my parts from. Is it OK to use the same smooth one in replacement of the liped one?

I'm glad I found d this fourm you guys are great! very friendly and helpful.

 

Here is a link to the Workshop Manual:

There are a few things to pay attention to when replacing the primary and secondary timing chains, tensioners and guides.

• DO NOT rotate the engine in an anti-clock direction when viewed from the front of the vehicle as damage to the main and rod bearings is the result
• DO NOT use the crankshaft holding tool as a means to loosen the crankshaft pulley bolt as the flex plate can become distorted.
• Correct camshaft timing is 45 degrees ATDC

 

hey there, were trying to get the ac pump and power steering pump off and we can not figure out this for the life of me. im beat today just messing with the alt and theses two things made me wanna donkey punch the windshield. but its a 2k windshield so i stopped that from happening. so does anyone have any advice on removing theses suckers? i sure am happy i have bought a new alt and all new coolant hoses and such this job is not for the faint hearted i will say that, i did get extremly lucky with the pully though. my air impact took it off ok and i had a balancer removal tool that took the pully off fine. i made sure it did not go counter clockwise at all as well. i am really hoping i get to get the cover off and timing chains installed tomorrow along with the rest of everything getting cleaned and painted so she looks good when all back together. thanks again for the advice and help on this big job.

The AJ28 fitted to the X200 is more compact than the AJ26 or AJ27 in the X308, which means the accessories are moved inwards making their removal more difficult.

If the refrigerant is discharged from the system, remove the 13mm nut holding the manifold to the side of the compressor, unplug the clutch and remove the four bolts holding the compressor in place. Once the compressor is out of the way, you can access the bolts holding the bracket to the block.

Remove the fitting for the high pressure line from the power steering pump, then remove the bolts that go through the bracket into the block. They're quite long and may give you clearance issues with the body as you try to remove them. Once the bolts are out, you can set the pump to the side and remove the bracket from the side of the engine.

The alternator upper bolt has a nut, which if memory serves, is 10mm. As with the other accessories, once the alternator is removed, the bracket can be removed from the block.

If any refrigerant oil leaks from the compressor, drain it and refill the compressor with the correct amount prior to reinstalling it onto the bracket.

I hope this helps.

 

Thank you times a million. We got the alt and bracket off. We just have the power steering and ac left then the fun job lol.

Very good! Just be patient and you'll have it all back together in no time!

Read through the details in this course, paying particular attention to page 26 of the course (page 74 of the PDF):

Thanks for that info.
I have a question. I am using thw dnj timing kit. Has anyone used this kit? Whats the quality like? Should i return and purchase a difrent kit. Please someone let me know before i get this all installed. Thanks much

 

This seems to be the preferred source for timing chain kits for the 4.0 litre AJV8:

That's who I got the tool for timing from great fella. It seems he uses cheaper products so I feel safe with the dnj kit I purchased. Thank you for reply.

 

One suggestion I use all the time? I take the motor mounts loose as that is very easy. Then use a piece of wood on the oil pan and jack the engine up watching so you pinch anything. It will go up a good bit and makes getting to the PS and AC pumps much easier.

thanks Club. i figured out the way to do it. I laid on the side of the car on the ground with tire removed and i could access them a lot easier. thank you for the suggestion.
