damage the crankshaft in the process (if the
crankshaft is damaged, the new seal will end
up leaking).
9The crankshaft seal rides on a spacer that
slips over the front of the crankshaft. Slip the
spacer off and clean the varnish off the seal
surface (see illustration).
10Clean the bore in the cover and coat the
outer edge of the new seal with engine oil or
multi-purpose grease. Apply moly-base
grease to the seal lip.
11Lubricate the spacer with clean engine oil
and refit it onto the crankshaft. Using a socket
with an outside diameter slightly smaller than
the outside diameter of the seal, carefully
drive the new seal into place with a hammer
(see illustration). Make sure it’s installed
squarely and driven in to the same depth as
the original. If a socket isn’t available, a short
section of large-diameter pipe will also work.
Note:The new seal comes with a plastic
installer guide. Do not remove this guide until
refitting is completed. The guide keeps the
seal lip properly oriented over the crankshaft.
12Refit the Woodruff key, then refit the
damper. Tighten the damper bolt to the
torque listed in this Chapter’s Specifications.
Note:The damper bolt can be used to pull the
damper back onto the crankshaft, but make
sure the damper is perfectly aligned with the
Woodruff key.
13The rest of the assembly is the reverse of
the removal procedure.
14Run the engine and check for oil leaks at
the front seal.
8 Timing chains
and sprockets- removal,
inspection and refitting
3
Caution: If the timing chain broke during
engine operation, the valves may have
come in contact with the pistons, causingdamage. Check the valve clearance (see
Section 10) before removal of the cylinder
head - bent valves usually will have
excessive clearance, indicating damage
that will require machine workshop work to
repair.
Note 1:This procedure requires that the sump
be removed (see Section 12).In a professional
workshop, this would be performed as an in-
car procedure with specialised tools to
remove the front suspension. Given the
equipment available to the average home
mechanic, this alternate procedure requires
removal of the engine from the car.
Note 2:If your engine is a 4.0 litre, built after
serial number 9J160552, and you’re
experiencing an engine rattle on cold starts
that disappears after the engine is warmed up,
the problem could be a defective upper
tensioner. A newly designed replacement
upper tensioner is available from the dealer
and should solve the problem. It can be
installed easily without pulling the cylinder
head or front cover, or can be installed during
a chain removal procedure.
Removal
1Disconnect the negative cable from the
battery.
Caution: If the stereo in your vehicle is
equipped with an anti-theft system, make
sure you have the correct activation code
before disconnecting the battery.
2Block the rear wheels and set the
handbrake.
3Refer to Part B of this Chapter for engine
removal procedures.
4Refer to Section 4 and remove the valve
cover.
5Refer to Section 3 and position the engine
at TDC for cylinder number 1, then mark and
remove the distributor (see Chapter 5).
6Refer to Section 11 and remove the cylinder
head. After cylinder head removal, the uppertiming chain will be loosely retained by the
two upper chain guides, which are retained by
refitting a large rubber band (see Section 10).
Caution: Do not rotate the crankshaft with
the upper timing chain disconnected and
the cylinder head and camshafts in place,
or damage could result from piston-to-
valve contact.
7Some models may be equipped with a
hydraulic pump used for the brake
servo/hydraulic self-levelling suspension
system. If equipped, it will be mounted to the
front cover. Models not equipped with this
option will have a flat block-off plate over the
hole. If equipped with the pump, refer to
Chapters 9 and 10 for procedures to reduce
the high pressure in the brake servo system
and to depressurise the self-levelling system.
Before removing the engine, unbolt the pump
from the front cover and set it aside without
disconnecting the hoses (see illustration).
8Refer to Section 7 and remove the
crankshaft pulley and damper. Refer to
Section 12 for removal of the sump.
9If equipped with the hydraulic pump,
remove the coupling disc and unbolt the drive
coupling from the intermediate shaft (see
illustrations).

and clean it thoroughly
7.11 Drive the new seal squarely into the front cover with a large
socket or section of pipe - do not remove the plastic refitting
guide (arrowed) until the seal is installed

10Remove the front cover-to-engine block
bolts (see illustration). Note:Two of the front
cover bolts are water pump assembly bolts.
Refer to Chapter 3 for water pump removal,
although only the two bolts that attach to the
engine block need be removed.
11Release the rubber band from the upper
tensioners and remove the upper timing chain
(see illustration).
12Remove the upper chain guides (see
illustration).
13Unbolt and remove the lower timing chain
tensioner (see illustration).
14Refer to Section 13 for removal of the oil
pump sprocket and drive chain.
15Remove the lower timing chain from theintermediate sprocket, auxiliary shaft sprocket
and the crankshaft sprocket (see illustration).
16Before proceeding any further, apply
timing marks on the crankshaft and the engine
block, allowing you to locate TDC position
without the crankshaft pulley in place (see
illustration).
Inspection
17Examine the sprockets for signs of wear
or damage. Renew the timing chain if obvious
wear or damage is noted or if it is the least bit
questionable. Note:If there is wear or damage
noticed in any of the sprockets or chains, the
entire set must be renewed, i.e. new chains
and new sprockets.18Correct any problems which contributed
to chain failure prior to refitting of a new chain.
19Check the chain guides for grooves, chips
or wear in the contact surface. Clean and
inspect the upper and lower tensioners.
Refitting
20Remove all dirt, oil and grease from the
timing chain area at the front of the engine.
21Recheck the crankshaft timing marks to
be sure they are properly aligned (see
illustration 8.16).
22Refit the lower timing chain on the
crankshaft, intermediate-shaft and auxiliary-
shaft sprockets. The chain should be
lubricated with engine oil.

8.16 Apply paint marks on the crankshaft,
crankshaft sprocket and the engine block
(arrowed) to indicate TDC position

23Clean and lubricate the lower tensioner.
Fill the lower tensioner oil reservoir with engine
oil and refit it on the engine block, aligning the
notch in the tensioner with the lug on the back
of the guide (see illustrations). This should
remove all slack from the lower timing chain. If
not, push the lower tensioner guide back and
forth a few times to prime the tensioner.
24Refit the upper chain tensioner guide and
mounting bracket to the engine block.
Caution: Before fully tightening the
mounting bracket to the engine block,
make sure the mount and chain guide are
clear of the lower chain, auxiliary sprocket
and intermediate sprocket. If necessary,
position the mount for clearance before
tightening the mounting bolts.
25Refit the oil pump drive chain and
sprocket to the crankshaft (see Section 13).
26Refit the upper chain fixed guide to the
engine block and place the upper timing chain
over the intermediate sprocket and auxiliary
shaft sprocket, draping the excess chain over
the top of the fixed guide. Lubricate the chain
and sprockets with clean engine oil.27Gather the loose portion of the upper
timing chain and place it between the upper
guides. Use a large rubber band to hold the
two guides snugly around the chain (see
Section 11).
28If necessary, renew the intermediate shaft
seal (see illustrations).
29Apply a thin coat of RTV sealant to the
engine side of the front cover and RTV sealant
to the oil-pan mating surface (bottom of the
front cover), then refit the front cover. Note:
Make sure the top surface of the cover aligns
with the top surface of the engine block, by
checking with a straightedge(see illustration).
30Refer to Section 11 for refitting of the
cylinder head and Section 10 for refitting of
the camshafts and connection of the upper
timing chain to the two camshaft sprockets.
31The remainder of the refitting is the
reverse of the removal procedure. If your car
is equipped with the hydraulic/self-levelling
suspension, refit the drive coupling and
coupling disc to the intermediate shaft (see
illustrations 8.9a and 8.9b). Coat the
mounting surface of the pump with RTVsealant and make sure the tang on the pump
aligns with the slot in the intermediate shaft
before bolting the pump to the front cover.
Refer to Section 7 for refitting of the
crankshaft spacer, damper and puller.
Caution: DO NOT start the engine until
you’re absolutely certain that the timing
chains are installed correctly. Serious and
costly engine damage could occur if the
chains are installed wrong.
32Run the engine and check for proper
operation.

3Remove the power steering drive coupling
from the auxiliary shaft (see illustration).
4Use a small drill to drill holes in the oil seal,
then use a slide-hammer puller to remove the
seal from the rear of the auxiliary shaft
housing (see illustration).
Caution: Drill straight and carefully to avoid
damaging the auxiliary shaft.
5Use a pair of snap-ring pliers to remove the
snap ring from the rear of the auxiliary shaft
(see illustration).
6Pull the auxiliary shaft out toward the front
of the engine.
7Remove the three internal hex-head bolts
and the auxiliary shaft housing.
8Examine the surface of the auxiliary shaft,
it’s sprocket, and the distributor drive-gear. If
there is noticeable wear or damage, replace
the auxiliary shaft assembly with a new one
(see illustration).
9If the auxiliary shaft housing has been
removed, clean it, scrape away the old gasket
material from the housing and the engine
block and refit the housing with a new gasket
(see illustration).
10Clean the auxiliary shaft, lubricate it with
engine oil and refit it through the front of the
block, then refit the washer (see illustration).
Refit the snap-ring(refer to illustration 9.4).11The new oil seal for the rear of the auxiliary
shaft comes with a plastic refitting sleeve that
keeps the seal lip from folding back during
refitting. Keep this sleeve in place until the seal
is fully installed. Tap the new seal into the
housing with a hammer and appropriate-size
socket until the seal is flush, then remove the
plastic sleeve (see illustration).
12The remainder of the refitting is the
reverse of removal. Note:When refitting the
distributor (see Chapter 5), use a new O-ring
to prevent oil leaks at the distributor.
13Run the engine and check for oil leaks at
the power steering pump-to-housing interface.10 Camshafts and valve lifters-
removal, inspection and
refitting

Removal
Note:The renewal of the camshafts requires
the use of several special tools. Read through
the procedure and acquire the special tools,
or their equivalent, before beginning work.
1Remove the valve cover (see Section 4).
2Refer to Section 3 and position the engine
at TDC for number 1 cylinder.
3Refer to Chapter 5 and remove the
distributor cap and set it aside along with the
spark plug leads. Mark the positions of the
distributor body and rotor.
4Using a feeler gauge, measure and record
the clearance between the intake and exhaust
camshaft lobes and the lifters for cylinder
number 1 (see illustration). Rotate the
crankshaft until the next cylinder in the firing
order is at TDC and check and record the
valve clearance for that cylinder. Following the
firing order, check and record the valve
clearance for the remaining valves with the
appropriate cylinder at TDC.
5Return the engine to TDC for cylinder
number 1. Using the special tool (Jaguar tool
no. 18G 1433), check the position of each

camshaft to ensure that they are truly at TDC
(see illustration). It may be necessary to
rotate the crankshaft slightly, to allow the tool
to fit into the slot. Once the camshafts are
positioned, DO NOT rotate the crankshaft
further.
6Check the TDC marks made on the
distributor body and refer to Chapter 5 for
removal of the distributor. Note:Plug the
distributor hole with a rag to keep out dirt.7Locate the upper timing chain tensioner on
the right front of the cylinder head. Loosen the
bolt on the clamp and swing the clamp away
from the tensioner return valve, then remove
the valve (see illustration).
8Remove the tensioner bolts and pull out the
tensioner.
9The camshaft bearing caps are each
retained by three bolts (the two front caps on
each camshaft have only two bolts), of whichone is a cylinder head bolt that threads into the
engine block. If the camshafts are being
removed as a step in cylinder head removal,
the following steps involving spacer blocks are
not required, just remove the bolts and caps,
then remove the camshafts. If the procedure is
being used for camshaft removal or adjustment
of the lifter shims, the procedure must be
followed exactly to maintain the cylinder head
gasket seal.
10To maintain a good seal on the cylinder
head gasket, if the cylinder head is not being
removed, a spacer block (Jaguar tool no.
18G 1435) is used to replace each camshaft
bearing cap as it is removed. Begin by
unbolting and removing intake cap no. 2.
Remove the large cylinder head bolt first, then
the cap bolts. Without delay, refit a spacer
block, with the cylinder head bolt, and tighten it
to 53 Nm (39 lbf ft) (see illustrations).
11Repeat paragraph 10 with the remainder
of the intake camshaft caps in sequence. After
cap 5 in the sequence, loosen the front and
rear caps alternately until valve spring
pressure is relieved from the camshaft (see
illustrations). Note:No spacer blocks are
required with the number 1 camshaft caps.

12Remove the four bolts in each camshaft
inner sprocket (see illustration). The bolts are
secured by sheetmetal “washer” plates. Bend
down the locking tabs with a hammer and
screwdriver tip to remove the bolts.
Caution: Stuff rags below the sprockets
while removing the bolts to prevent a bolt
from falling down into the front cover.
13Remove the two bolts retaining the upper
chain guide to the cylinder head (see
illustration).
14Pull the inner sprockets from each
camshaft (see illustration). Each camshaft
sprocket is comprised of an inner and outer,
each with a set of fine splines that lock them
together. The outer sprockets, with the teeth,
can rotate on the camshafts until the inner
sprocket bolts are tightened.
15Pull the outer sprockets from the
camshafts and allow the chain slacken.
16At this point the camshafts can be
carefully lifted straight up and off the cylinder
head. Take care not to nick any of the lobes or
journals during removal.
17Use a magnet to remove the lifters,
keeping them in order in a divided, numbered
box (see illustration). They must be returned
to their original location if reusing the original
camshafts!
18Removing the lifters exposes the
adjusting shims, sitting in a pocket in eachvalve spring retainer (see illustration). Keep
the shims with their matching lifters. Measure
the thickness of each shim with a micrometer
and record the measurements.
Inspection
19After the camshaft has been removed
from the engine, cleaned with solvent and
dried, inspect the bearing journals for uneven
wear, pitting and evidence of seizure. If the
journals are damaged, the bearing surfaces in
the cylinder head and caps may be damaged
as well, requiring renewal of the cylinder head.
20Measure the bearing journals with a
micrometer to determine if they are excessivelyworn or out-of-round (see illustration).
Compare the measurements to Specifications.
21Check the camshaft lobes for heat
discolouration, score marks, chipped areas,
pitting and uneven wear. Measure the lobe
heights with a micrometer and record the
measurements (see illustrations). If there is
variance of more than 0.005-inch, the
camshaft and lifters must be renewed. If the
lobes are in good condition, the camshaft can
be reused.
22Inspect the top, bottom and side surfaces
of the lifters for wear, grooving or scoring. If
the lifters are damaged, the camshaft and its
lifters must be renewed as a set.
