could anyone give me info on my engine number?
It is a 2000MY XJR : vin no. SAJAC15JOYMF0****.
Engine number MAAS068250
The engine number doesn't look like any I've seen described,I'm just trying to work out if its a nikasil or steel linered engine.
Thanks for any info

Can I tell my Nikasil death factor?
Can I tell my brake specs (perf pckg or not) by vin?

 

brakes are easy. the R1 option has enormus grey enameled calipers that say Jaguar on them. Standard does not.

 

The engine number on a 2000 is on a vertical rib on the left side of the block, viewed from undrneath, just above the steering rack. It will look something like 0008182310.

00= year
08= month
18=day
23=hour
10=minute

That's the built date of the engine, which has no direct relationship to the built date of the car. If the engine number is before 000818xxxx, it has Nikasil bores.

 

Yea that's what I thought my engine number would be like, but mine is MAAS068250. Although that is taken from the Vin doc. so maybe I'll have to crawl underneath to see what is stamped on the engine.
