Jaguar Guys in the West Chicago Suburbs

Are there any knowledgeable Jaguar guys/mechanics in the Western Chicago Suburbs on here? I’d be interested in having someone take a peek at my '62 era XK 3.8L motor since Jags are all new to me, and the car isn’t drivable at this stage. The motor runs but needs a good tuneup. But since this motor is a bit of a hodge-podge of mismatched parts, I’d like someone with a lot more knowledge to give it a look over and maybe an adjustment here and there before I start replacing parts.

Here is some background on the vehicle;

I’m near Rockford and could possibly take a look. I’m a mechanic by trade and well versed in Jaguars.

Which burb are you in? I’d be happy to come over and hold the flashlight for Tim :smile:

I’m in the city of North Aurora near 56 (Butterfield) and 25.

Tim, I sent you a PM.
