We are thrilled to have been entrusted with the care of this fabulous 1964 E Type that has been in the hands of its current owner since 1964. The interior has an exquisite, 'lived in' patina and the outstanding overall condition is a testament to the great care that has been lavished upon the car over the last 54 years. Our task is to rebuild the engine, upgrade the cooling and ignition systems, and to service the car generally. Engine Job # 2256

I am pleased to report that we now have this engine rebuild underway in the Team CJ machine shop. The head took extra time to remove as we had to cut and machine several seized head studs. Looking at the internal condition of the engine, it is amazing that it was actually running fairly recently! The main bearings were completely wiped out and the cams were rusty. The head is warped and will require straightening and align honing.

	Removing the engine for rebuild
	Several head studs were seized to the head and had to be cut and machined
Main bearings in very poor shape
Amazing that this engine was running recently!
