5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent reference on the XK engine, IRS and SU carbs.
,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jaguar 6 Cylinder Engine Overhaul: 1948-1986 (Including I.R.S. and S.U. Carburettors) (Paperback)
Excellent book on rebuilding the classic Jaguar XK engine in it's various permutations. Some history on the development as well. A real inside look at all of the internals of this engine. As a bonus, there is also a quick teardown and rebuild of much of the independent rear suspension unit. Covers everything except the actual rebuild of the differential. Also a bonus section on the SU carburettor. This book is required reading if you plan to do any of your own engine work. The photos are first rate, many in color. This is a collection of articles that previously appeared in Jaguar Quarterly (now Jaguar World) Magazine

Sound advice for a Jag restoration,
By Boris de Vries (Weehawken, NJ - USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jaguar 6 Cylinder Engine Overhaul: 1948-1986 (Including I.R.S. and S.U. Carburettors) (Paperback)
This is in my opinion a must have for any vintage Jag owner who considers rebuilding an XK engine in his own garage/shop instead of giving it away to a specialist. The book will most likely prevent you from making some unneccessary mistakes. However, I recommend this book as an addition to the original Jaguar shop manual and not as a replacement. The section on the IRS is nice to have and was probably only added because the engine story didn't fill a whole book. Books like this will give you way more bang for the buck than most of the coffee table books when it comes to restoring your old rust bucket.
