1966 E Type FHC (JA) Team CJ restoration

Specification (briefly) for this project is as follows: Total restoration with a full complement of Team CJ performance and reliability upgrades.

We found a number of issues when we tore down the cylinder head. Virtually all the valve stem tips had been hand sanded and were badly 'mushroomed', and the front cam cap on the intake side was damaged and will have to be replaced. We have now completed the machine work on the block and the new sleeves have been honed to size.

This cam cap is damaged and will be replaced	Valve tips mushroomed
Honing the cylinders to size		Pressure testing the head - OK

Stage One CJ engine rebuild underway...

Grinding main caps square		Align honing in process
Cutting out old sleeves	Water jackets behind sleeves unusually clear

Your car is now disassembled and in-line for the full treatment in the CJ Coachworks. In the next week or so we will get your Stage One engine rebuild underway.

Interior now virtually stripped out
Engine will receive Stage One rebuild	CJ5 five speed will replace old 4 speed

I am pleased to report that your car has arrived safely at Classic Jaguar and we will have this exciting project underway in the next few days. I hope you enjoy watching the restoration unfold on your own personal restoration webpage!
