 Jaguar AJ6 engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2.9 used a SOHC head from the Jaguar V12 engine, and was prone to failure.
Jaguar had considered cutting the V12 in half to build a V6, or possibly a V8, but chose instead to develop a new inline-6.
The AJ6 was replaced in 1996 with the Ford Duratec-derived Jaguar AJ-V6 engine.

 Jaguar V12 engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Their first car, XJR6, used the 6.0 L engine, but in the following year the engine was upgraded to 6.9 L and in 1988 the XJR9 used the engine's most famous displacement of 7.0 L. By 1991, the V12 was good for 7.4 L inside the XJR12, developing an impressive 750 bhp.
From 1993, Lister owner Laurence Pearce produced the company's first design the Lister Storm, which, naturally, continued using the V12 engine, both on the road and on the track, with the car becoming a mainstay of the FIA GT Championship and several national championships for the following decade.
The V12 was only Jaguar's second engine design in the history of the company.

 Jaguar (car) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1959, the car was improved with a larger engine and wider windows and became the Mark 2, one of the most recognizable Jaguar models ever produced.
The 1955 Mark 1 small saloon was the first monocoque (unibody) car from Jaguar and used a 2.4 Litre short stroke version of the XK engine.
The 1.5 Litre 4 cylinder engine was still supplied by Standard but the two larger six cylinder ones were made in house.

The V12 was too bulky and the lower displacement was offset by using twin Garrett T3 turbochargers, four camshafts, and four valves per cylinder.
Also because of the V6 engine, the length of the car was reduced by an astounding ten inches from the prototype, but the car remained extremely wide at 6 feet, 6 inches.
Jim Randle, Jaguar's chief engineer at the time, wanted to create the ultimate supercar and convinced several of the other engineers at Jaguar to help him make his dream reality.

 V12 engine
A V12 engine is a V engine with 12 cylinders.

 E-Type Jaguar V12 engine
The internals of the V12 are rather complex around the overhead cams, timing chain and heads etc. Too many complications, special tools and specialist knowledge required for my liking, therefore a home rebuild was out of the question and it was off to a Jaguar V12 expert for the engine.
My venerable Jaguar V12 engine was performing well but as it was out of the car for the engine bay restoration it was a good opportunity to bring it up to scratch.
As is common with the all alloy Jaguar V12 the heads were “frozen” in place due to chemical reaction between the steel head studs and the aluminium head castings.

TWR also built some 4 valve V12s but fuel consumption regulations put them at a disadvantage and the added weight at the top of the engine caused handling problems which negated the extra power, so they were never used in anger.
The definitive 10:1 compression V12 launched in 1980 used the new Lucas P Digital EFI system employing a main integrated circuit chip, consisting of a large number of transistor elements configured in manufacture to generate a map of the fuel requirement spread over hundreds of data points according to engine speed and load.
Fortunately Lucas had already developed their OPUS system for high revving racing engines so there was no need to look any further and with minor changes over the years it served the V12 reasonably well for its first decade, running with conventional centrifugal and vacuum control of ignition timing.

The Jaguar V12 engine was designed and developed by a team of engineers, among who W.M. Heynes, C.W.I. Baily, W.T.F. Hassan, and H. Mundy.
In Jaguar's history two engines have been very important: the XK engine and the famous Jaguar V12.
Introduction took place in 1971 with the E-Type V12; this 5.3 litre engine gave 272 bhp and was provided with carburettors.

 Jaguar Magazine - For Lovers Of Jaguar Cars
The Jaguar V12 engine was significantly improved over the years, having been introduced in 1971 with a 5,345cc capacity.
On average, servicing is only required between 12,000 and 16,000 kilometres, and if the engine is well maintained, the only additional costs are a couple of litres of oil and, of course, six more spark plugs over the six cylinder Jaguar.
Fuel consumption for a vehicle with a kerb weight of 2000 kgs is surprisingly low: at a steady 90 km/h 26.6 mpg (10.6 l/100 km) is achieved and at 120 km/h 21.7 (13.0 l/100 km).

The engine is not great, it has passable horsepower and there are virtually no performance parts for it, hense it's relatively good availability and the G-50 is massively expensive, the machine work is extensive to flip the differential and it cannot be run upside down due to oiling issues.

 Jaguar Heritage Trust
Late in 1982 Group 44 had been given the go-ahead to design and build a sports racing car around the Jaguar V12 engine.
Named the XJR-5, the car featured an aluminium honey-comb monocoque which employed the mid-mounted engine as a stressed member from which was hung the rear suspension.
Sir William Lyons had merged Jaguar with the British Motor Corporation (later to become BL) in 1966, in the belief that he was safeguarding the future of the company.

The XJ12 version, with a 5.3 L V12 engine, was again part of the lineup along with long-wheelbase models and a coupé, now considered a collector's item due to its rarity.
The single cam 2.9 L straight-6 engine found in Europe was a derivative of Jaguar's legendary 6.0 L V12 HE, but it proved to be underpowered and thirsty compared to the 3.6.
The engine was later replaced with the 3.2 L, based on the durable 3.6 L, which then became the 4.0 L. By the late 1980s, Ford had become Jaguar's owner and ordered the XJ40 be "retrolutionized", reintroducing the style of the popular Series III.

But while Jaguar made the brackets machine- perfect, they neglected to install a cradle to ensure that the compressor would be forced into position.
Therefore we are left with the unenviable job of trying to line up a heavy, awkward compressor which fits so tightly that it basically doesn't want to move.
