The windscreen of our 1971 Jaguar E-Type V12 roadster is now in place. Dave can now work on fitting up the hood frame and hood.
We have now discovered the route cause of the engine issues on our 1963 Jaguar SS100 engine. Unfortunately this does however mean the engine needs to be removed in order to rectify the problems. The block face is warped and will require re-facing. The uneven surface could have been caused by a number of factors but does suggest that we have had previous overheating issues at some stage.
Once removed, the engine will be totally stripped, removing pistons, crankshaft etc.
The block will need to be honed and to be reassembled with new piston rings. We have advised to replace the piston rings in case there are any imperfections in them. It makes sense to carry out this task whilst the engine is in this current state as any issues undetected would undo all of the hard work in rebuilding.
The crankshaft bungs and waterways will be removed to ensure the oil ways are free of sludge.
The block has now been refaced and repainted, the bores re-honed, the pistons are fitted and the crankshaft has been timed in.
