Introduction AJ-V8/5HP24

The AJ-V8 4.0 litre, engine is the first of a new family of Jaguar engines. Designed to give excellent performance, refinement, economy and low vibration levels it also conforms to the strictest emission legislation. Weighing only 200 kilograms (441 lb), the engine is shorter by 12 inches (300 mm) than the current AJ16 4.0 litre engine. Compression ratio is 10.75:1, with four valves per cylinder. The cylinder heads, block and bedplate are all cast aluminum. Cylinders have electro-plated bores which reduce piston friction, improve warm-up and oil retention. A variable valve timing system has been introduced to give improved low and high-speed engine performance and excellent idle quality. The valve gear is chain driven for durability. Low valve overlap improves engine idle speed and low residual fuel levels which improves combustion and reduces hydrocarbon emissions. The inlet manifold is a one-piece, composite moulding with integral fuel rails connecting to the eight side feed fuel injectors. Air flow into the engine is via an electronic throttle assembly. Movement of the throttle is controlled by sensors in the throttle assembly through the ECM. The engine has a low volume, high velocity, cooling system which achieves a very fast warm-up with reduced and even metal temperatures in the combustion chamber and increased bore temperatures. The generator, A/C pump, and PAS pump are mounted to the cylinder block on rigid cradle supports. Accessory drive is from a single, 7-ribbed vee belt. Hydraulic engine mounts minimise noise and vibration. A new engine management system adjusts fuel and ignition settings, monitors and controls exhaust emissions and provides an on-board diagnostic capability.

The transmission is a new ZF 5-speed, automatic, electronically controlled unit. The unit is oil filled for life so does not have an oil gauge (dipstick). Two driver selected modes are available, sport or normal. The TCM is programmed with cruise, traction, gradient, warm-up and hot mode features. It also provides an on-board diagnostic capability.

The engine and transmission meet OBDII USA environmental regulations. Default limp home modes for both engine and transmission are provided.

Cylinder Block

The cylinder block is an "enclosed V" design, which provides an inherently rigid structure with good vibration levels. Nikasil (a composition of nickel and silicon) coated cylinder bores provide good friction, heat transfer and piston noise levels. A low volume coolant jacket improves warm-up times and piston noise levels; the longitudinal flow design of the jacket, with a single cylinder head coolant transfer port in each bank, improves rigidity and head gasket sealing. The right hand cylinder bank is designated as "A" bank, and the left hand as "B" bank. The cylinder bores of each bank are numbered from 1 to 4, starting from the front. Engine data is marked at three locations on the cylinder block. Component diameters are represented by alphabetical and numerical codes; keys to the codes are in the Service Manual.

CYLINDER BLOCK, CRANKSHAFT AND BEDPLATE

303-011

EngineAJ-V8/5HP24

Bedplate

The bedplate is a structural casting bolted to the bottom of the cylinder block to retain the crankshaft. The use of a bedplate further improves rigidity. Iron inserts, cast into the main bearing supports of the bedplate, minimise main bearing clearance changes due to heat expansion. Two hollow dowels align the bedplate with the cylinder block. Beads of sealant seal the joint between the bedplate and the cylinder block.

Crankshaft

Six counter-balance weights ensure good vibration levels from the four throw, five bearing crankshaft. Manufactured in cast iron, the crankshaft also has undercut and rolled fillets for improved strength. The main bearings are aluminum/tin split plain bearings. An oil groove in the top half of each bearing transfers oil into the crankshaft for lubrication of the connecting rod bearings. A lead/bronze thrust washer is installed each side of the top half of the center main bearing. The crankshaft rear oil seal (a lip seal similar to that used on the AJ16 engine) is a press fit in the bedplate to cylinder block interface.

Connecting Rods and Pistons

The connecting rods are manufactured in sinter forged steel. The bearing caps are produced by fracturing the opposing sides of the connecting rod at the bearing horizontal center-line. As well as being easier to manufacture, when re-assembled the fractured surfaces interlock to form a strong seamless joint. The cylinder position is etched on adjoining sides of the joint to identify matching connecting rods and bearing caps. The connecting rod bearings are lead/bronze split plain bearings. The pistons are of the open ended skirt design with flat upper surfaces to reduce heat absorbtion. Three piston rings, two compression and one oil control, are installed on each piston. Each piston is installed on a wrist pin located in a lead/bronze bushing in the connecting rod.

Sump

The sump consists of an aluminum alloy structural sump bolted to the bedplate, and a pressed steel oil pan bolted to the structural sump. A windage tray attached to the top of the structural sump isolates the oil pan from the disturbed air produced by the rotation of the crankshaft, to prevent oil aeration and improve oil drainage. A rubber plug at the rear of the structural sump seals the port that provides access to the torque converter securing bolts. The engine oil drain plug is located at the front right corner of the oil pan. A silicon rubber in-groove gasket seals the joint between the oil pan and the structural sump; a bead of sealant seals the joint between the structural sump and the bedplate.

Cylinder Heads

The cylinder heads are unique to each cylinder bank. Deep seated bolts, to reduce distortion, secure the cylinder heads to the cylinder block. Two hollow dowels align each cylinder head with the cylinder block. The cylinder head gaskets consist of a silicon beaded composite gasket with metal eyelets for the cylinder bores, similar to that on the AJ16 engine. Each cylinder head incorporates dual overhead camshafts operating four valves per cylinder via solid aluminum alloy valve lifters. Steel shims in the top of the valve lifters enable adjustment of valve clearances. The lightweight valve gear provides good economy and noise levels. Valve head diameters are 31mm (1.220 in) for the exhaust and 35mm (1.378 in) for the intake. All valves have 5mm (0.197 in) diameter stems supported in sintered metal seats and guide inserts. Collets, valve collars and spring seats locate single valve springs on both intake and exhaust valves. Valve stem seals are integrated into the spring seats. The camshafts are manufactured in chilled cast iron. Five aluminum alloy caps retain each camshaft. Location numbers, 0 to 4 for the intake camshaft and 5 to 9 for the exhaust camshaft, are marked on the outer faces of the caps. The rear of B bank intake camshaft has a timing ring for the camshaft position sensor. A flat, machined near the front of each camshaft, enables the camshafts to be locked during the valve timing procedure.

Timing Gear

Single row primary and secondary chains drive the camshafts of each cylinder bank. The primary chains transmit the drive from two sprockets on the crankshaft to variable valve timing units on the intake camshafts. The secondary chains transmit the drive from the variable valve timing units to sprockets on the exhaust camshafts.

TIMING GEAR

EngineAJ-V8/5HP24

A key locates the two drive sprockets on the crankshaft. The crankshaft's torsional vibration damper retains the sprockets in position. The variable valve timing units and the exhaust camshaft sprockets are non-interference, nonkeyed fits on their respective camshafts; the drive being transmitted by the face to face friction load produced by the valve timing unit/sprocket securing bolt. Each chain has an hydraulic tensioner operated by engine oil. A jet of oil from the end of each tensioner lubricates the chains. The primary chain tensioners act on pivoting flexible tensioner blades. The secondary chain tensioners act directly on the chains. Guide rails are installed on the drive side of the primary chains.

Timing Cover

The aluminum alloy timing cover accommodates the crankshaft front oil seal (a PTFE lip seal) and the two variable valve timing solenoids. Silicon rubber in-groove gaskets seal the joint between the timing cover and the front face of the engine.

Camshaft Covers

The camshaft covers are manufactured from vinyl ester composite. The A bank camshaft cover incorporates an outlet for the full load engine breather. The B bank camshaft cover incorporates the engine oil filler cap and an outlet for the part load engine breather. Identical oil separators are incorporated below the breather outlet in each cover (see Crankcase Ventilation, page 35). Silicon rubber in-groove gaskets seal the joints between the camshaft covers and the cylinder heads. Together with spacers and seals on the camshaft cover fasteners, they also isolate the covers from direct contact with the cylinder heads, to reduce noise.

Exhaust Manifold

The thin-wall cast iron manifolds are unique for each cylinder bank. On engines with EGR, the A bank manifold has a connection for the transfer pipe. Spacers on the securing bolts allow the manifolds to expand and retract with changes of temperature while maintaining the clamping loads. Heat shields are integrated into the exhaust manifold gaskets.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD

Engine AJ-V8/5HP24

Engine Cooling

The cooling system is a low volume, high velocity system with good warm-up and temperature profile characteristics. From the pump, the coolant flows into each bank of the cylinder block. In each bank, 50% of the coolant cools the cylinder bores and 50% is diverted through a bypass gallery. At the rear of the banks the two flows mix and enter the cylinder heads. The coolant then flows forwards to the outlet ports. When the thermostat is closed, the coolant returns directly to the pump through the bypass on the thermostat housing. When the thermostat is open, the coolant returns to the pump via the vehicle's radiator. A coolant drain plug is installed on the rear left side of the cylinder block. On vehicles with the cold climate package, the cylinder block heater replaces the drain plug.

Note: Coolant is drained from the right bank of

the cylinder block by removing the coolant pipe behind the starter motor.

Coolant Pump

The coolant pump is installed between the two cylinder banks, on the front face of the cylinder block. The pumping element is a shrouded composite impeller. Coolant escapes from seal breather holes in the housing if the pump's bearing seal fails. An O-ring and an edge bonded rubber/aluminum alloy gasket seal the pump to cylinder block interface. The O-ring seals the inlet port from the thermostat. The gasket seals the outlet ports into the cylinder banks.

Thermostat Housing

The composite thermostat housing is installed between the two cylinder banks, immediately above the coolant pump. The thermostat controls the flow of coolant through the radiator. It starts to open at 80 to 84°C (176 to 183˚F) and is fully open at 96°C (205˚F). A duct in the cylinder block connects the thermostat housing outlet to the pump inlet. A stub pipe connects the duct to the air conditioning heater matrix return line. An in-groove gasket seals the joint between the thermostat housing and the cylinder block. In addition to containing the thermostat, the composite thermostat housing incorporates connections for the bleed, bypass and radiator bottom hoses. The bleed outlet vents any air in the system into the vehicle's coolant reservoir. The cap of the thermostat housing is removable, to allow air out of the system when filling from empty.

CAUTION: Use the correct torque (marked on

the cap) when re-installing the cap, or the cap/thermostat housing could be damaged.
