Nightmare. You have to practically pull the whole front clip to get at the
engine in these. Don’t ask me how I know.
If you want a Jag, stick to the Ford produced models (late 90s?), They’re
actually pretty reliable.

1. Pull the engine out to work on it. You will find lots of other things
that need attention and can NOT be accessed with the engine in..
2. Plan for 6 months of 8 to 10 hr days only devoted to the Jag.
3. Become very friendly with your bank officers, well in advance.
4. When you are all done, and
If it is true to form for a V12 Jag... each head has a seized exhaust
valve, so you would have to pull BOTH heads... and you need to pull the
engine because the only way to pull the heads is to use a head press tool
to jack the heads off the studs.. don't forget the cam drive chains [two
sets] down
This is why being a Jaguar mechanic in the early 1980s was a very good job. I
likened it to being a mortician. No matter how bad things get, you’ll always
have work.
And yes, those dual chain engines were a real treat to work on. Even the 3.8
