V8 Engine AJ-V6/AJ28

Basic Engine
Bottom End
Changes to the cylinder block, connecting rods
and pistons which were introduced for the AJ27
N/A engine are also applicable to the AJ28 unit
and are described in the ÔXK and XJ series 1999
MY updateÕ Technical Guide.
Oil Sump Body and Pan
A revised oil sump body and sump pan are
necessary to accommodate the V8 engine in the
S-TYPE model but the sump capacity is
unchanged.

Transmission Drive Plate
The transmission drive plate is similar to AJ27 but
is fixed with eight bolts to an adaptor plate on the
torque converter (see Transmission sections). The
crankshaft sensor ring is fitted to the engine side
of the drive plate as for the previous V8 engines.

Cylinder Head
The cylinder head incorporates the modifications
first introduced for the AJ27 engine except for the
camshaft sensor ring and cam cover.
Camshaft Sensor Ring
Cam position sensing is similar to that used on the
AJ27 engine, except that the sensor ring fitted to
each inlet camshaft has five triggering teeth.
Camshaft Covers
To improve accessibility, an extension tube is
fitted to the oil filler hole on the bank 2 cam
cover. Due to the position of the throttle and air
intake ducting, the part load breather outlet is
taken from bank 1 cam cover and the full load
breather outlet from bank 2 (the reverse of AJ27).
Front Cover
The front cover is modified from the AJ27 to
include a mounting boss for a new idler pulley
(see Front End Accessories Drive).
Lubrication
The lubrication system includes the uprated oil
pump (for the linear VVT system) and the same oil
temperature sensor as fitted to the AJ27 engine.
The oil sump and pan are modified as described
on page 46.
The external oil system components are located
laterally across the front of the sump body and
consist of an oil filter, oil cooler and oil filter head
assembly. The oil cooler is an oil to water heat
exchanger similar to the V6 oil cooler and the
cooler matrix is also connected via hoses to a
circulator orifice in the radiator bottom hose (see
Cooling System). The oil filter screws on to the
cooler which connects to the sump body through
an adaptor, the oil filter head assembly.

Exhaust Manifold
The exhaust manifolds have a double wall
construction and are manufactured from
austenitic stainless steel. The double wall
construction has a number of advantages:
¥ it provides a significant reduction in the
external heat generated and therefore
improves underhood thermal management
¥ a heat shield is not required
¥ the durability of the manifold is increased (eg
less likely to crack)
¥ by retaining heat, the insulation effect
provides a slight improvement in the time to
catalyst light-off.
The manifold couples to the catalytic converter
via a spherical joint which requires no gasket or
sealant. EXHAUST MANIFOLD

Cooling System
The AJ28 engine retains the same basic cooling
system as the previous V8 engines but shares the
radiator, fan shroud assembly, de-gas circuit and
bottom hose oil cooler circulator features with the
V6. The coolant specified for the V6 is also
applicable to the V8 engine.
Particular features of the AJ28 cooling system are:
¥ The thermostat is located in the engine
mounted housing as in previous V8 engines.
¥ The thermostat housing is modified with an
extra stub pipe for the new heater returnhose.
¥ The throttle adaptor is heated from the main
cooling system to provide throttle de-icing.
¥ Both heater hoses, feed and return, are now
routed forward to the heater control valve.
¥ An electric pump is fitted in the heater
coolant circuit (ÔS-TYPE IntroductionÕ
Technical Guide).
¥ The coolant reservoir (de-gas bottle) is fitted
with a level sensor which provides a low level
warning on the instrument panel message

Cooling System Hoses
The cooling system hoses are constructed of the
same materials and have the same type of fittings
as the V6 engine.

Air Induction System
Charge air is supplied to the cylinders via an air
cleaner, induction tube, throttle body, throttle
body adaptor and induction manifold.
The throttle body and system operation is
identical to that of the V6 engine.
Induction Manifold
(see illustration on page 52)
To accommodate the V8 engine in the S-TYPE
model, the throttle body is re-located and now
supplies charge air via an inlet at the top centre of
the induction manifold. The manifold is
manufactured from a plastic material and has an
integral injector air supply tube on each side with
holes for the fuel injectors, but as on the AJ27
engine, the fuel feed pipes are not incorporated
into the manifold (see Fuel System). Two stub
pipes at the top of the manifold provide vacuum
connections for the vacuum hose and the brake
servo hose.
A polypropylene covered foam noise isolation pad
fits between the manifold assembly and the block.Throttle Adaptor
The throttle body is mounted to the induction
manifold via a cast aluminium adaptor. The
throttle body adaptor provides input ports for the
evaporative emissions (top stub) and part load
breather (lower side stub) and also mounts the air
assisted injection control (AAC) valve. Input and
output ports for the side mounted AAC valve are
an integral part of the adaptor casting (the ports
do not connect to the induction airstream).
Throttle de-icing is achieved by a coolant feed
through the base of the adaptor instead of the
throttle body itself as on the V6 engine (see
cooling section).

The inlet valve timing gear is fitted with the same
continuously VVT system as is used on the AJ27
engine. Operation is as described in the ÔXJ and
XK Series 1999MY UpdateÕ Technical Guide, with
the following variations:
¥ engine management system
¥ PWM solenoid control frequency is 300Hz
¥ the use of five toothed sensor rings for cam
position feedback
Note that the use of this VVT system eliminates
the need for external EGR components.

Engine Management Sensors
The configuration of the AJ28 engine management sensors is changed from the previous V8 variants:
¥ New components unique to AJ28 engine are the MAF sensor and engine fuel temperature (EFT)
sensor.
¥ Components in common with the V6 engine are the IAT sensor, KS sensors, injector pressure (IP)
sensor, engine oil temperature (EOT) sensor and HO2 sensors.
¥ The crankshaft (CKP) and camshaft (CMP) sensors are the same as those fitted to the AJ27 engine.
Heated Oxygen (HO2) Sensors
Upstream and dowmstream HO2 sensors are
fitted and are of the type used on the V6 engine
(the linear type sensor is not used).
