This comprehensive rebuild at our Billericay workshop includes updated timing chain kit LR096682 and supercharger assembly LR012345 where needed.
With our performance-focused rebuild, yes. We've rebuilt over 85 JAGUAR F‑TYPE 340 / S engines for track use since 2009. Our specialized approach includes reinforced oil pump systems to maintain pressure during high-G cornering, upgraded cooling system components, and ECU recalibration specifically for track conditions. We also perform rigorous dyno testing that simulates track conditions to ensure reliability under extreme stress.
Supercharger bearing wear due to oil starvation during spirited driving. We replace it with the updated assembly LR012345 in every P340 rebuild, along with installing high-flow oil pump upgrades to ensure consistent lubrication during high-G maneuvers. Our rebuild process also includes checking the supercharger oil lines for proper flow and replacing any worn components that could restrict oil delivery to the supercharger assembly.
Yes - we use Jaguar Pathfinder and Autologic diagnostic tools for full ECU synchronization, adaptation, and coding specific to the X152 chassis. This includes proper integration of the supercharger system, throttle response calibration, and ensuring all engine management systems communicate correctly with the vehicle's electronics. Our technicians are certified in Jaguar diagnostics and follow JLR technical service bulletins to ensure complete system integration.
Our standard turnaround is 5-7 working days at our Billericay workshop. This includes complete disassembly, metrology, machining, component replacement with OEM-spec parts, and rigorous validation testing. For the JAGUAR F‑TYPE 340 / S , we add an additional performance road test to verify supercharger operation under various driving conditions. We keep you updated throughout the process and can accommodate expedited service for an additional fee.
Absolutely - we use the updated timing chain kit LR096682 in all our JAGUAR F‑TYPE 340 / S rebuilds, which addresses the tensioner wear issues common in these engines. Our process includes precise measurement of chain stretch (<0.05mm tolerance), replacement of all related components, and ECU recalibration to match the new timing system. We've successfully resolved timing chain issues in over 70 JAGUAR F‑TYPE 340 / S models since 2009, with none returning for the same issue under our 12-month warranty.
