Travis Babcock says:

Yeah I thought it would be more

V8Jagnut says:

yer it was good. lol. im still going on it. still some more vids on it to
come

V8Jagnut says:

about 9:1. I’m going to do a comp test on it. ill let you know what i get.
im still not totally happy with the way it runs. cyl 3A seems to have a
incomplete combustion. i hope its the injector or a seal.

V8Jagnut says:

yer its fun. thanks

V8Jagnut says:

lol. i hope thers just some rust in the injector filter cap. ill start with
a comp test and go from their. at least i worked out which on it was. its
not a misfire but i can just feel it.

V8Jagnut says:

lol. you think that’s bad. you should see the later ones with air injection
for EPA.

V8Jagnut says:

year. most mechanics see the engine and put it in the to hard basket.lol

V12? Sweet!

Travis Babcock says:

Whats the compression on a V12 thats in there? Yeah it sounds like a plane
starting.

V8Jagnut says:

@16driver16 its not that bad. i do it all the time. i have a xj12 with GMH
308 and thats fun :D. if your in melbourn i do thes repair for a good price
and i can get all parts you need.

Travis Babcock says:

Thats one noisy starter

DrZarkloff says:

That project should have kept you busy for a while.

Aussie50 says:

Davidsfarm says:

V8Jagnut says:

steven earnshaw says:

@V8Jagnut just like my 1988 xj12 🙁 i need a feul pump

16driver16 says:

just bought a 76 xj12 with A ford 351windsor and c4 transmission swap in it
but it need new mounts and bushings for the front subframe/steering rack,
new tierod ends etc, how hard will it be for me to replace these? i have
already found the parts online i need, but i am nervous about working on a
foreign car myself.
