JUNK at Just 62K Miles! Jaguar 3.0 Supercharged AJ V6 Engine Teardown

Search my channel to see what I've torn down. Here's a few recents: Mini Cooper/PSA N14    • JUNK Mini Cooper S (BMW/Peugeot) N14 Turbo...   Ford 1.0 Ecoboost 3cyl    • JUNK Ford Ecosport 1.0L 3-Cylinder Ecoboos...   Infiniti/Nissan VR30DDTT    • 60K Miles on 1 Oil Change!?! Infiniti Q50 ...   Dodge Ram 8.0 V10    • 8 LITERS OF DESTRUCTION! Dodge Ram V10 Eng...   Today's subject is a 3.0L Supercharged V6 from a 2017 Jaguar F-Pace. This has only 62,000 miles and was pulled from a wrecked vehicle that was a theft recovery. Generally speaking, most people who drive stolen cars don't take the best care of them and that was the case here although some component failures were the main catalyst to this engine's demise. This engine is a pretty interesting design as the block itself is a V8 casting shared from the 5.0L and 5.0L Supercharged JLR engine. Its the same overall casting, it simply does not have the rear most bores. The crankshaft has an area where there would normally be rod journals but instead it has a gear to drive some mini balance shafts. They did this to save money from having to design a completely new block casting. Was it worth it? I'm not sure. The 3.0 supercharged engines suffer the very same failures and have the same complexity as their 500hp 5.0L siblings but instead make 340hp. Why am I doing this? I own and run a full service auto salvage business called Importapart. Part of our model involves buying core and blown up engines to tear down and salvage the good parts for resale. We do not rebuild engines, merely supply parts to those who do. I really hope you enjoyed this teardown. As always I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one! -Eric
