Hi,
Does anyone know if I can hire a V12 head jacking/removal tool in the UK? I have stripped my engine down to the heads and need the jacking removal tool. I know I can purchase them, but it difficult to justify the expense for a one off requirement.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks
Andy

 

Have you considered making a tool, it is a flat 1 inch thick plate with holes that allow the camshaft cap bolts to go through and taps for longer bolts that mesh against the head studs.

here is one for 250 on ebay uk: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jaguar-V1...-/173116248576

 

Ended up making my own. Now to test it on the engine!!

 

The Jaguar Enthusiasts Club hire these out I think; worth a punt.
