Hello everyone I am new here because I am going nuts. hah. Where in the hell can I find a blow out on the location of this part in a Jag XF-R 5.0L. I do realize it's somewhere in the timing area (supposedly). Here's the deal, we have an 2010 XF-R in our (personal) shop putting it back together where the former Mechanic decided to well STOP after he got everything fixed (timing issues) and just didn't put the damn thing back together. Client had it towed to our place so that we can complete it. Welp the owner stated that he needed this oiler nozzle installed and damn if I can find where it goes. Only thing I can see it on is a Land Rover and they don't have a blow out either. Any help would be appreciated. FYI it's part number: LR032714.
First of all you have posted this in the wrong sub-forum, this is the X260 (2015 onwards) XF sub-forum whereas you want the X250 (2008 - 2015) XF sub-forum.
Yes that is definitely a timing chain oiler nozzle and there are a few of them mounted under the timing chain covers but exactly where or how I don't know.
But forum member davetibbs has a long and comprehensive thread of his full 5.0 SC engine rebuild with lots of photos and if that thread doesn't show you somewhere what you need then I'm sure Dave will be happy to answer your questions, start here: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...4/#post1629340
Edit - I have trawled through that thread again (great read!) and the only useful pic I can find is the sixth/last pic in post # 166: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...6/#post1895987
It clearly shows one (and one only) of those chain oiler nozzles with one spout pointing at the auxiliary chain and the other at the LHS timing chain, so there may be another one not yet fitted pointing at the not yet fitted RHS timing chain, davetibbs would know for sure if that is the case.
