[1995 XJS AJ16 motor, With a ZF 4 speed transmission]

Happy days
Just change Oil, New filter drove car for about a Week, I had the car running now for over a year after replacing the ZF transmission. Car has 198000 miles,
Order new coolant hose both upper and Lower. When to flush and replace old hose's. Open the coolant cap. Found Oil mix in, Ahhh I so **** now!!!

Now I need to pull the head off, send to a shop have it check, Replace the Head gasket, along with other Items.

Looking for any pointers and special tools to remove head and Keep the timing chain in place as I service the head.

Any Help at all
Thanks
Happy Holidays,
Keep driven fast

 

Bugga.

I am assuming this is the XJ-S in your public profile, although you have 1955 as a year, so again I will assume a 1995?, and 3rd assumption will be its an AJ16 4ltr 6 cylinder engine, due to you talking in the singular for the head removal.

The ZF trans kind of gives it away for the 6 cylinder, but guessing is fraught with danger.

If this is so, then an ask in the X300 section may supply many more answers than the XJ-S section, due to most of the XJ-S cars being V12.

I have never had an AJ6 or AJ16 engine head off, so I cannot answer that one.

 

Yes I do have a 1995 XJS AJ16 motor, With a ZF 4 speed transmission. did check transmission and power steering fluid, No sign of water: Oil dipstick, Transmission dip stick or power steering.

Any special tools or trick's on pulling head off an timing chain in place???


To Be honest driving the cat is fun and very fast, Now I need to bring inside and once more do repair work. Most of my ASE friends that how the Jaguar tail wag, so I need to trouble shoot the issue's an repair. Its winter time now, spending the working, and not playing
