Cannot believe that is the same engine from the first video. Stunning work, Mr. Lenthall, just stunning! ^_^ Cannot wait to see where this beautiful little monster winds up! ^_^
I personally think twin-charging a engine is better than a supercharger or twin turbo and if youse do decide to twin-charger the engine mark sure to put a clutch on the supercharger so that it does drag on the engines power at high rpm
Bearing tangs are not there to keep them from spinning. Bearing crush is what holds them in place. The tang is simply to locate the bearing during installation.
Love the Jag 4.2 i6, we had an XJ 4.2 when I was in my teens, what a car. Ours needed paint but otherwise the body was dent/rust free and mechanically she ran like a top. Plenty of grunt and so smooth.
We i used to build big HP engines, i would always select engines that had been sitting outside for years (302 & 351 Clevelands, Intech 6's, Buick V6, 250 Crossflow- Aussie engines). Would go out of my way to buy engines from down south (NSW, Tasmania etc) where it snows; these weathered engines once cleaned & built, never gave an issue as they had been "seasoned", never suffered cracked blocks or heads, never any leaking issues (even with 38psi+ of boost).
Cool video, enjoyed that!! Nice to see a bit of detail. Bottom end looks very strong, keen to see just how big the Garret is and what it ends up powering
I watched this and should be marvelling over the engine, but all I can think about is how many people watching this know what a chanter is... You should've gone all in with a full set of bagpipes!.. ;-)
The Scottish population Myselef included, will know what the chanter is and from what part of the pipes it’s from but most of the English population wont
Hey Guys. Love the channel. I'm in Australia. I love British cars especially Jags n Triumphs. This engine would be epic in a Triumph 2500tc with a Tremec 5. Can you guys do a restomod on a Triumph one day? I don't think I could ever do a project car but I love watching the videos.
I have an XJR6, and they are an absolute BUGGER to work on. At least in the car, there is zero access. All the fiddly bits are under the intercooler so you have to access from underneath. But you do get 4.0L, more than your standard Japanese straight 6. And when its working it goes like a train.
Keep that cam cover well hidden or it may be ending up on the AJ16 in my Silk Cut purple XJS race car! Surprised this motor isn't bound for a racer with your ties to Swallows and now working with Tom too, surely you should keep it supercharged, plonk it in an X300 and join the party 🏁🏁🏁
Why does Fernie keep advertising Redbull (sponsored athlete style) but they blur out Castrol from Tom? Is it just because the show is sponsored by Liqui-moly?
There will be a clause in their contract with Liqui-Molly that says they won't promote any other suppliers of products they make which will force them to blur things like Castrol
Beautiful work! I hope Emma brings in a lot of money for charity. I'm curious though, how much would all that restoration/rebuilt work have cost a normal person coming in off the street?
Turn Yuki into a high downforce time attack monster! It would be great to see it do grip driving! And then turn it into a drift car and then turn it into an off-roader I will watch all of it!
I wonder if you could turbo the thing instead of supercharger, like one of those 2JZ Turbochargers. All in All, I think you should put it in something interesting. Like a 350Z, or an E30.
Only thing to say. If use gasket selent. Let coure. One week before starting. If selent is hard. Will never be in the pickup in oil pan. God bless mate. Mick au. ) grand father from there. )
I've got an X300 supercharged lying around. I bought it to put back on the road but now thinking about putting the engine in either my 66 E Type or my 69 420G
Gotta love a shop who's primary electrical system is extension cords tied to socket boxes. Where I live, the nanny state forbids extension cords for this type of use.
It's just beautiful but what should it go in, something crazy like a spitfire to get an absurd power to weight or something more sinister like a Mark II or later sedan?
When i was a teenager these engines ruled the local drag strips , huge torque. Of course back then we did not buy Chinese bearings like you apparently did ?
Whack a big ol snail on it, and stuff it in Vauxhall Carlton estate and give it a purple Silk Cut Jag inspired livery. You know it would be good.
We can still tell tom is wearing a castroll logo on his shirt 😂 props for realizing it during filming.
yep 0:35 if it wasn't obvious before
It’s better advertising for Castrol them bluring it. It’s draws our attention to it and we all know what it is. 😂
The funny thing of bluring it is that it draws more attention to it.
I believe it's Castrol.
Castrol is what jlr recommend
I’m pretty sure Tom has always got a permanent smile on his face, he’s awesome.
I love how they blurred out the Castrol on Tom's jumper, right as he was standing next to an unblurred Castrol container at 3:38
They will edit this video the second they read this comment. Lol
What am I missing? What's wrong with Castrol?
@@wayland7150 Drivetribe have a brand partnership with Liqui Moly which is a competitor of Castrol so they don't want to look like they're promoting them
@@wayland7150it's because the build is sponsored by liqui moly a direct competitor
@@benllewelyn98 Yeah, I spotted that eventually, thanks.
Thank goodness there are still people like Tom around. An absolute legend.
Ah I thoroughly enjoyed that! Love the deep dives! Tom is such a legend, the depth of knowledge that man possesses is ridiculous.
Whoever did the blurring on Tom's jumper did a cracking job.
Tom is such a joy to watch. Always remain humble👌
Just imagining AutoAlex impersonating Toms laugh 😂😂
😂
HHHHAAAAA..........HA.........HAHA.......HAAAHHHHAAAAAHHAHAHA 🤣
@AutoalexCars that's made my day 😂😂😂😂
@AutoalexCars alright tom?! No I'm fecking not..😆
Cannot believe that is the same engine from the first video. Stunning work, Mr. Lenthall, just stunning! ^_^ Cannot wait to see where this beautiful little monster winds up! ^_^
Is it the same engine when 80% of it is new parts? Same block new everything else.
Tom is an absolute legend.
Next time you have Tom Lenthal on put him in the thumbnail! I would have watched this yesterday.
Hearing an English mechanic say "Job's done" is just a good feeling, there's no BS behind it.
I just sold my 4.0 AJ16 XJ6 today, so this is a goodbye of sorts for me. It is a phenomenal engine. Powerful, smooth, and the sound is tremendous.
Boost it to four digits and drop it into XJS with reworked suspension and brakes.
1000 lbs of boost?!! 😂😂
@@Crazy_Adventureseven better, 1000 bar of boost!
Love the tom lenthall love, boys a diamond in the rough
Put it up against an Aussie Barra 4.0L straight six
that engine is very much like the sohc, the cam drive looks identical lol
I personally think twin-charging a engine is better than a supercharger or twin turbo and if youse do decide to twin-charger the engine mark sure to put a clutch on the supercharger so that it does drag on the engines power at high rpm
Gives me vibes of i have had the same broom for 20 years. "mind you the broom has had 17 new heads and 14 new handles"
I have been wanting to see a built AJ16 take on the Japanese 6 cylinders, thank you!
I've got one of these AJ16 on my driveway and an AJ6 in front of it as well, great engines, easy to work with and pretty much indestructible.
Love it Tom. Your not getting taking over it’s your shop and your way. Go on man
i love this iteration of drivetribe. it is in great hands and mike is a proper petrolhead
Nice to have an actual subject on this video and not another piece to camera.
Bearing tangs are not there to keep them from spinning. Bearing crush is what holds them in place. The tang is simply to locate the bearing during installation.
Tom is the OG, top top top top bloke, fun friendly and insanely knowledgeable
It's a pleasure to watch you! Growing as a presenter! 💪
Love the Jag 4.2 i6, we had an XJ 4.2 when I was in my teens, what a car. Ours needed paint but otherwise the body was dent/rust free and mechanically she ran like a top. Plenty of grunt and so smooth.
Jaguar XJS with a bonkers amount of power in would look amazing! Keeping it looking stock/oem+ but with new suspension and brakes to match the power!
Mike....... That engine deserves a nice Mk X or 420G home and a whole lot of titanium intake and exhaust for bling..... :-)
Tom is an absolute legend I’ve had the privilege of meeting him a few times mikes not bad either

@@damiantaylor7993Maybe replace "English" for rest of the world. That's from an Englishman😕
@@heilandgunner I'm an American Southerner, and I knew what it was....then again I'm a bit weird, I actually took bagpipe lessons for a while at uni!
Love it, this reminds me of my dad teaching me how to do this, and has inspired me to do this with my kids, it’s a handy skill to have😉❤️
Tom is awesome! Can't wait to see this engine going into a car.
It’s a shame Tom didn’t put a baffled sump on Tavarish’s XK 😂
Can’t wait to see what this engine will do with some real boost ! It’s going to be a torque monster 💪🏻🏁
The E type is going to look a million bucks in the sun ☀️ 💪🏻👌🏻🏁

The one pound block looks amazing
that's pretty light, isn't it?
Or: Option C:
Compound it. supercharger for low end torque, turbo for face-ripping power :)
21:05 those cam lobes are super pointy
Lenthall for the win!
Keep that cam cover well hidden or it may be ending up on the AJ16 in my Silk Cut purple XJS race car! Surprised this motor isn't bound for a racer with your ties to Swallows and now working with Tom too, surely you should keep it supercharged, plonk it in an X300 and join the party 🏁🏁🏁

Trigger's Broom 😂
Beautiful work gentlemen 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇬🇧
Can't wait to see where this engine will land in 😊❤
I've always wanted to turbo a Jag engine!
Beautiful work! I hope Emma brings in a lot of money for charity.
I'm curious though, how much would all that restoration/rebuilt work have cost a normal person coming in off the street?
How long did it take to move all of AutoAlex cars out before filming ?
I'm out of the loop, is there beef between this channel and AutoAlex? Is is this just a shop that works with both?
@@AccAkut1987 Tom does work with both , if you watch AutoAlex you would get it , Alex always seems to have a few of his cars going to him .
@@AccAkut1987 No beef. It's more a joke because AutoAlex always have atleast 1 car in his shop (usually Big Pete)
@@AccAkut1987 No issues/beef, Alex just use Tom's place as a 4th car park.
Big Pete is probably in the scrap by now 😂😂
Go nuts, gentlemen. Unleash the beast.
Turn Yuki into a high downforce time attack monster! It would be great to see it do grip driving! And then turn it into a drift car and then turn it into an off-roader I will watch all of it!
Great episode thank you. Looking forward to seeing where that ends up.
Can't wait to see what you put it in
I wonder if you could turbo the thing instead of supercharger, like one of those 2JZ Turbochargers. All in All, I think you should put it in something interesting. Like a 350Z, or an E30.
They are going to turbo it.....he mentioned Garrett at the end of the video, and Garrett don't make superchargers. Also, The 2JZ had 2 turbos.
@Mardy72 some people swap it for a single turbo and still make more power
Maybe Hammond will want this engine for a race car for next season? He certainly seems to be learning racecraft fairly well.
Definitely interested in seeing more on this engine it's my fav thing on drivetrive love engines and love tom
Nice Jag!
Absolutely love big Tom, awesome guy
Engine needs to be in an another Jag. May be a modified xk
Lets go build a british barra!
23:32 heads up. That transit is tailing you. Quick, call the rozzers
its the camera car
@briocheman21 yup that what I thought
Tom is a legend
The sound will be phenomenal 👌
Only thing to say. If use gasket selent. Let coure. One week before starting. If selent is hard. Will never be in the pickup in oil pan. God bless mate. Mick au. ) grand father from there. )
Awesome stuff! Keep up the great work. More restorations!!!
Stick it in a x-type diesel estate body 👍🏼
Is there anything to be said for whacking it in the Smallest Cog's racing MG?
23:12 Toms got the Simon from inbetweeners trim.
Don’t cry Si
Wheres the measuring? Have they matched the bearings to each journal? Did they check the oil clearance?
I've got an X300 supercharged lying around. I bought it to put back on the road but now thinking about putting the engine in either my 66 E Type or my 69 420G
Gotta love a shop who's primary electrical system is extension cords tied to socket boxes. Where I live, the nanny state forbids extension cords for this type of use.
Shhh!
I need more updates on this!! I have a 95 XJS with the AJ16, and, I too, am trying to mod it!
It's just beautiful but what should it go in, something crazy like a spitfire to get an absurd power to weight or something more sinister like a Mark II or later sedan?
Is it just me and that at 23 minutes and 58 seconds in that red jaguar blew out blue puffs of smoke?
Go for it!
Love these style of videos!
Jag JZ turbo on a Mk1 jag or Standard Vanguard with Jag front panels and Jag F/R suspension. Toyota Crown AWD is on the opp side of Nissan GTR.
Bang it in a ford Capri or a Jenson interceptor MK3 with a snail 5-600whp
Emma is a beautiful car. I wish I could afford that. I love it
I think it's hilarious all of UKs auto youtubers abuse Tom and his skills haha
Daves auto center watching this is like when we see a video of some Asia based workers doing an engine.
All they missing is the sandles
I've been looking forward to this
Should take a look at the Barras from Australia ;)
Honestly the 4.0 jag is just a British Barra
When i was a teenager these engines ruled the local drag strips , huge torque. Of course back then we did not buy Chinese bearings like you apparently did ?
Gorgeous E-type 👍
So by "saved an engine" you mean you kept a block and then purchased an entire engine to bolt to your 1 quid block?
Isn't the crank supported by bearings?
I don't think they 'purchased' anything other than the head.
Tom legend
Triumph GT6 would be good with this engine
Why not twin charged like the lancia delta s4 rally car and put it in a tvr
Go nuts Fernie, Jimmy Jag wont be far behind you
18:30 Tilly's Orifice. Respect to Miss Shilling.
Great episode
Love this... rebuild all the sixes 🙌🙏👌
The musical part reminded me of the Mitchell and Webb Show.
Trigger's brush springs to mind 🤔
That guy complaining about 'yet another engine video' a few videos back isn't going to be happy 😂
I on the other hand am enjoying them!
