Other engine features include fracture-split forged powder metal
The AJ-V8 was on the Ward's 10 Best Engines list for 2000.
Ford ceased production of the AJ-V8 engine in September 2020 when it closed the Bridgend Plant.[1] However, in August 2020 JLR was able to take over production means for the AJ-V8.[2]
Manufacture
The AJ8 engine was manufactured in a, dedicated Jaguar facility located within the Ford Bridgend Engine Plant in Bridgend, South Wales. The Jaguar "plant-within-a-plant" saved considerable investment costs by Jaguar. It was staffed by workers dedicated to Jaguar engine production and included a linked flow-line of computer numerically controlled machines with automated loading and assembly. Component supply was on a "just-in-time" basis.[3][4][5][6]
Jaguar Land Rover has subsequently produced the AJ supercharged petrol V8 Jaguar Land Rover engines in a state-of-the-art Engine Manufacturing Centre in Wolverhampton.[7]
4.0 L
The 4.0 L (3,996 cc) AJ26 engine was introduced in 1996. The number "26" comes from 12+6+8 (cylinders), because when the first ideas were sketched, a family of 6-, 8- and 12-cylinder engines was contemplated, although only the 8-cylinder version was produced. It has a square 86 mm (3.39 in) bore and stroke. It was updated in 1998 as the AJ27 with continuously variable valve timing. The AJ-V8 was updated again in 2000 as the AJ28. The

Supercharged
The supercharged version of the AJ26 is used in the high-performance R versions of Jaguar's cars. The engine was updated with AJ27 specifications for 2000. It produces 370 hp (276 kW; 375 PS) and 387 lb⋅ft (525 N⋅m) with the help of an Eaton supercharger (modified Roots-blower). The supercharged engine did not use variable cam timing as the normal benefits of improved volumetric efficiency are not noticeable on a boosted engine.

AJ-V8 Gen III 5.0
An all new direct injection 5.0 L engine family was introduced in 2009 (all new engine block).[9] Now featuring: spray-guided direct-injection, continuously variable intake and exhaust camshaft timing. The naturally aspirated engines also feature cam profile switching and variable track length inlet manifold. Supercharged engines make use of a sixth-generation TVS (Twin Vortices Series) supercharger. The 2010 model year engine conforms to EU5 and ULEV2 emissions regulations.[9]
The engine is controlled by Denso's Generation 1.6 Engine Management System. Later switching to Bosch for the F-Type and other mid-2010 models going forward.

V6
AJ126
The AJ126 V6 utilizes a AJ133 V8 engine block with the rear two cylinder bores blanked, and reduced bore sizes on the remaining six cylinders.[10] While the engine block is the same size as the V8, the cylinder heads are shortened versions of the V8 heads. It is made on the same production line as the AJ133.
The AJ126 is a 3.0 L; 182.8 cu in (2,995 cc) 90° petrol V6, having a bore and stroke of 84.5 mm × 89 mm (3.33 in × 3.50 in) with a 10.5:1 compression ratio. It is supercharged and liquid cooled featuring direct fuel injection, four overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder. There are two versions differing in power produced, a standard version making 340 PS (250 kW; 335 hp) at 6,500 rpm and 332 lb⋅ft (450 N⋅m) between 3,500-5,000 rpm and a high-performance variant making 380 PS (279 kW; 375 hp) at 6,500 rpm and 339 lb⋅ft (460 N⋅m) between 3,500-5,000 rpm. A special Jaguar F-Type 400 Sport model made 400 PS (294 kW; 395 hp) and 339 lb⋅ft (460 N⋅m).
The main structural components of the engine are all manufactured from aluminum alloy. The engine is built around a very stiff, lightweight, enclosed V, deep skirt cylinder block. A structural windage tray is bolted to the bottom of the cylinder block to further improve the block stiffness, minimize NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) and help reduce oil foaming. To further enhance the stiffness of the lower engine structure, a heavily ribbed sump body is installed. The sump body also helps to reduce engine noise.
The engine uses a
The four camshafts incorporate VCT (
The supercharger is located in the 'vee' of the engine and is driven from the crankshaft by a dedicated secondary drive belt.
The engine meets EU5 emission regulations in Europe and Rest of World (ROW) and ULEV 70 emission regulations in North American Specification (NAS) markets.
The direct fuel injection system, advanced piston and combustion chamber design and the supercharger provide improved fuel consumption and emissions.
