New to V8 Jags

[ABC]

Hi all, I recently purchased a 2002 V8SE and love it but have now just got hold of a 2002 R that needs a bit of work on the sills. It has a fully rebuilt engine, subframes have been shotblasted and powder coated, new brake pipes etc so just waiting for it to be finished.

Apparently it had thrown a rod.

Hi

Wow Never seen that,

only time seen these fail, is when they either get low on Oil or overheat due to a water leak.

Even when they have been abused, not seen that, they will happily handle 750 bhp with a KB supercharger.

love mine

good luck with the build

cheers
