the later B.L. 'A' plus engines used a valve stem seal which will fit the 2 1/2 litre turner V8 ( I beIieve you quoted to correct part number) when fitted with the modified valve guides that are machined for a seal and are currently supplied by most jaguar/daimler parts specialists ..they can also b...

All the Turner V8s have the crankshafts threaded at the front (nose) end as far as my knowledge goes.... the front pulley has to be secured.. period .. I have never seen one with internal threads.. every one I have personally observed has an external thread up front that the pulley nut threads on to...

to open the bonnet with cable detatched/broken requires some patience..there is an access panel directly under the grill held in with 2 phillips head screws.. once this panel is off you can reach up to get to the 5/16" head bolts that hold grill in place.. remove all bolts then remove grill.. y...

A Common problem and not surprising given the age of our cars.. another issue, is that these tensions often seize up over time and will no longer tension the belt.. they are however, relatively easy to remove and dismantle.. always wise to add some anti seize to the shaft of tensioner when its apart...

Some good answers posted.. I'll chime in :- the flex hoses are inexpensive and all 3 should be replaced if showing obvious signs of age ... another common issue is problems with the master cylinder .. people tend to over adjust the push rod when these have provision for adjustment, which if there is...

consider this. The labelling on multigrade oils works thus :- the first number refers to stated viscosity of oil when cold ..the second number is oil viscosity of stated oil when hot ..a 20 weight oil will thin somewhat when hot..but a 60 weight will thin a LOT when hot.. a 60w oil can be significan...

Be advised that when installing these rings (or 'gaskets'..same part as used on Mk2 Jag/S type/420/ XJ6) ) on the exhaust downpipes its wise to smear them liberally with 'anti seize' compound ( I believe the common one available in Uk is 'copper coat') to help enable future dismantling..(These propr...
