- For my senior project I restored a 1962 Jaguar Mark 2 3.8 Liter. This episode focuses on the engine. There will be three more videos focusing on the suspension, the engine bay, and the cosmetics. I hope you enjoy :)
This car and the hudson hornet is the benchmark that I’m trying to achieve on my 56 Chevy. Congratulations on your car!
Great job, congrats and respect to all of you 👍👍👍!
Congrats, what a job!
Not many women get to experience the satisfaction of doing all this hard dirty work and then the reward of seeing the completion of assembly and driving the end result too! Good to see, alongside the obvious knowledge of the lead hand!! Cheers
Great video, Love seeing young folks doing this their fathers
Best video on you tube 👍🇬🇧
You have done a very difficult job. Thanks
Wow! Amazing is right!!
Nice E-type in the driveway.
Lovely to see the Jag engine come back to life.
Great job, thanks for showing us. Mike Owen Owen Automotive
Great video from the start! I owned a 1968 3.8S in the early 80s out in So Cal , and I loved that car. Too bad it had a lot of rust on the underbody. It sold and eventually found itself in Trinidad. Thanks 😊
Splendid job! Nice cooperation! You don't see that often... that engine will work great! After all this care it will sing and last forever!
This is my dream car! I love old jags
My Dad and I also did a rebuild on this same 3.8 XK engine a few years back for his E Type. This was very nostalgic, thanks for the content!
Joe. I'm restoring a 1967 Mark 2 3.4 Liter. Very well done video, short, to the point, informative. Best of Luck Megan.
Great video Megan, you could not have picked a better car to restore. You will learn heaps on the way through. I have owned four Mark 2's over the years and my current 1960 3.8L Resto Mod is in it's eight year of building. I have a feeling you will do yours quicker.
Did an awful lot of work in one weekend eh?! Nice legs on that engine stand, never seen that model before!?
Great video, I am in the Uk and have a MK2 3.8 manual that has disgraced itself by dropping a valve!
I was wondering why an American girl would be doing the mk2 project. Then your dad came on. Great guy.
Fantastic video! Your dad is a true craftsman and you are amazing for working/learning under his tutelage. Absorb as much as you can. Someday you could be working for an auto manufacturer or some car media creator such as Motor Trend. Good luck to you!
The XK engine was one of the best 6 cylinder engines ever made (if not THE best)
This is so cool!
What a great project, so much fun :)
Wow! Nice video! Just subscribed to see the whole project! Welldone
This is amazing
Stand the cylinder head so the valves are vertical for grinding.
When putting the engine in, when it's half was catch the centre mountain adjustable pin first then it goes up in place.
Megan,
the usual way to remove the engine is to lower it downwards complete with the gearbox after removing the front subframe, a bit late now, as is a simple way to remove the cam buckets is to use one, put some oil on it's flat face and place it on the next bucket. The oil 'sticks' them together and they can easily be removed. Or possible a strong magnet?
Great video Megan. I could sure welcome your help on my S-Type as they are so similar to your Mk2!
Great video Megan, well done. Looking forward to the next instalment, hope it's not too long before you publish it.
The registration BCS118B is from Ayrshire Scotland.That car would have been supplied by Ritchies of Glasgow or Robert McCall in Ayr
You're mispronouncing micrometer. The emphasis is on the second syllable. That's a nice Jag. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
Easiest wsy to get the engine out is by dropping the crossmember , lower it under the car, engine and trans as one unit.
Thoroughly enjoyed that Megan. Amazing attention to detail with that engine rebuild. You appear to have a North American accent, a Welsh name and your father does not have the same accent which is a tad puzzling. Are you UK or North American based. The car is clearly on UK Registration Plates. Be good to see more progress covered and background information adds further interest.
Thank you for your comment. I am American with an English father which is why he has a funny accent. We live in the US. It had a UK plate on the front and a California plate on the back when we bought it.
You took the right amount of care and preparation of all the engine components, excellent job all round. Than engine should last a long time and work well.
Out of interest, are you based in the USA, or the UK, thanks and well done. I will be cocking an eye, to see how the restoration progresses.
Maryland US.
i dident see you put any oil on the new shells on crank b for puting it back you dont put water to test its petrol you should tested it with as its thinner than water
We put assembly lube on the shells before the crank or conrods were assembled. Good spot.
🤩✌
What has happened to the next in the series?
“..rocker cover bolts..” hmm, that didn’t bode well for the rebuild. Were those 9:1 pistons ? I wish I had a blonde assistant to help me with my 3.8. Learning on the job would be acceptable....
Look like standard 8:1
Did you replace the valve guides and valve seats? The seats need to be changed because we don’t have lead in gas anymore to lubricate the valves. Looks like in order to save money you skipped a lot of normal restoration steps.
Does it run?
Yes it does! it took some tries and fixing minor issues but she runs beautifully now.

Megan you have great legs!
