Dear all,
Because of a failed piston ring on cylinder N°2, I will swap my AJ16 engine for another one.
See here for the previous post: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...3/#post1329666
I will have to remove the engine and transmission.
Do you have any specific advice for me ? I will remove the engine and transmission attached. But anything else ?![Icon Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Thanks a lot for the help
Julien

I think I can not remove the sump of the engine and access correctly to the rod without lifting the engine out of the car. Am I right ?
And in total, it seems far more expensive to rebuild the engine head (machining + new gaskets) and more risky since I am not a specialist at all in engine rebuilding and it might not run well afetr all. I can get a good running engine for approximately 600$
Best regards

Dear knightofgold,
Thanks for the answer. I was fearing I have to remove all of that, and it seems the case

By the way, it will make the job much easier.
