Engine Compartment
Engine numbers are 1001 through 17000. The engine number is stamped on the left side rear of
the engine on the horizontal surface of the mating flange for the transmission. All engines were
5.3L with the 1971 and 1972 engines using a 9:1 compression ratio and many common
ancillaries. The 1973 and 1974 engines used an 8:1 compression ratio and shared almost all
ancillaries.
The V12 E-type has no polished parts. Many of the aluminum parts were die cast and have a
very shinny almost pit free finish.
There are three metal finishes employed on the Series 3 E-Type cars:
• Silver cadmium also referred to as cadmium, clear cadmium or bright cadmium
• Yellow dichromate also referred to as golden cadmium or yellow cadmium which is an
etch applied to a silver cadmium part.
• Black zinc used on toothed washers, some specialized parts such as the Allen head door
striker guide bolts.
Yellow dichromate is found on the following:
• Horizontal fuel rail
• Horizontal balance tube
• Emissions return lines to carburetors and the engine breather tub
• Bolts securing the inlet manifolds, water jackets to the head, nuts securing the “oval
“feet” and the nuts securing them used on the air injection rails
• Bolts securing the rain shields
• Cylindrical “cup” on the gulp valve, check valve to the air injection rails
• Adjusting rods for alternator, power steering pump, A/C compressor and air injection
pump
• Most of the large, coarse bolts securing items to the block (engine mounts, alternator/air
injection pump mount bracket, power steering pump mount bracket)
• A/C hose couplings
• Ubiquitous cerated washers
• Electrical retaining clamps (metal loops attached to nearby bolts)
• Bolts securing air rails to inlet manifolds
The brilliance of the yellow dichromate is determined by the smoothness of the base metal, the
copper underlay (when used) and the quality and thickness of the cadmium plate as well as the
quality of the yellow dichromate solution and application. Just as in chrome plating there is a
difference in the brilliance determined by the subsurfaces and the quality of the plating.
All parts supplied by Lucas are bright cad plated as well as the cam cover screws.
JCNA Series 3 E-Type Judge’s Guide

Dichromate is found on the following:
• Most of the bolts on the engine are dichromate along with the cerated washers.
• The check valve and the cap on the gukp valve are yellow dichromate.
Silver cadmium is found on the following:
• All electrical relay covers
• Most brackets that aren’t painted (brake fluid reservoir brackets, windscreen washer fluid
bracket, regulator mounting bracket
• Cam cover screws.
• Wiper motor mounting plate and cover plate
• A/C dryer bottle canister cover
• Hydraulic lines (brake and steering rack)
• Brake caliper housings
• Suspension and attaching hardware
• All banjo bolts
• Bonnet locking plates and hooks on firewall
• A/C block at rear of compressor
• Steering rack mounting hardware
• Miscellaneous hardware
This partially assembled engine shows the mixture of yellow dichromate and
silver cadmium

The plastic parts are diecast and hence a smooth and brilliant finish.
Due to excessive heating, Jaguar did make a modification to the amplifier and moved it
from mounting directly over the valley cover to mounting it forward of the upper cross
member just under the header tank.
Extra cooling fans, carburetors, headers, horns, or other non-factory available items, for
the model, are non-authentic.
Hoses and hose clamps must match original equipment.
The front or rear suspension, shock absorber or brake caliper components are not judged.
Surfaces may not be replated other than as original e.g., cadmium cannot be replaced
with chrome.
Silver cadmium may not be replaced with zinc or yellow dichromate.

Appendix A - Carburetors
(Thanks to Stew Cleave for the section on carburetors)
Carburetors-die cast aluminum Strombergs with a shiny unpolished finish. The carburetor
domes are secured with posi-drive screws, used black plastic dash pot covers with red fiber
sealing washer and have embossed printing identification which is sometimes distorted as cast.
Brass ID tags are located on the left outside dome screw. Dome screws are posi-drive truss head
with the early 1971 model carbs using a long shank screw on the right inner with a perpendicular
hole at the bottom of the screw. Wound through the screw hole is safety wire with a lead slug
and a Z embossed in the slug. (see photo in parts manual). Cylindrical boss on dome has green
inspection paint ‘71-72 and blue inspection paint 73-74. ‘71 domes used a red emission pack
sticker. Temp compensator covers are white plastic and secured with bright cad screws.
Throttle overrun housings are die cast aluminum with bright cad attaching hardware and a brass
vacuum nipple except the ‘71 which had no external vacuum supply. Throttle shafts are
machined brass and use gunmetal blued accordion connectors with yellow dichromate over cad
hardware.
Four Zenith Stromberg 175 CD-2SE’s – two on each side – LH Front and RH Rear fitted with an
enrichment device (choke) operated by a bifurcated cable, Part No C.34854, secured to these
carburettors with a black oxide clip, Part No 12278. Each dash pot has decal “FOR EMISSION
CONTROL SYSTEMS….” There is conflicting information regarding the carburetor anti-tamper
device; 1) the parts catalogues show a lead disc with one pre-embedded wire used for insertion
through a perpendicular hole at the end of a longer dash pot screw shaft, after running through
the hole the wire is inserted into a preformed hole in the lead disk and sealed by squishing. 2)
The workshop manual shows a small peg (lead plug) that is driven into the Phillips head of the
back rear dash pot screw of each carburetor. The workshop manual makes specific reference,
after servicing, to, “Drive a new lead plug into the cover securing screw.” The workshop manual
being more specific is deemed to be correct.
Brass identification tags with stamped numbers, listed below in bold, should be secured under
the head of the front rear dash pot screw of each carburetor; the brass tag is the only external
distinction between the Jaguar carburetor part numbers listed below. Other numbers (usually 3
digits) stamped on the tags are believed to be the manufacturer’s batch codes or bench testing
proof numbers.

NOTES:
1. Jaguar Part Nos. from and Jaguar Series 3 E-Type Open 2-Seater Parts Catalogue, pages 25.44, 25.45, 25.46, & 25.47 and Jaguar
Series 3 E-Type 2+2 Fixed Head Coupe Parts Catalogue, pages 30.44, 30.45, 30.46, & 30.47.
2. The metering needle for C38881, C38880, C.38883 & C.38882 is listed in the Jaguar Parts Catalogues as B1BQ. All references cited
below list it as B1CQ, which is thought correct; confirmation is requested. The metering needles are only listed above as they are an
immense aid in researching the proper Zenith Stromberg I.D. numbers.
3. Zenith Stromberg Brass I.D. Tag information from the following:
A. Appendix 1 – Applications List, Zenith Stromberg CD Carburettors Owners Workshop Manual by Don Peers, Published by
Haynes Publishing group 1976,1983,1984,1986.
B. Stromberg Carburetter Application List, Stromberg Carburetters - Serving Function Testing by Interauto Book Company Ltd.,
1973. Except 3629 & 3630 are listed as 3529 & 3530, perhaps a typo.
C. Burlen Fuel Systems web site, www.burlen.co.uk. Also lists 3629 & 3630 as 3529 & 3530, confirmation is requested
D. See page 227 of Jaguar E-Type 6 & 12 Cylinder Restoration Guide by Dr. Thomas Haddock for picture of brass I.D. Tag
“3391A1”
4. It must be noted, that except for features unique to position, i.e. RH Rear, externally, all of these carburettors look alike. The
performance differences are internal, having to do with the needles, enrichments devices, and the bypass valves; this is the reason for
the brass I.D. tags; to assure that the correct carburetor is fitted to the right application (car), especially when multiple models are
being assembled in the same factory.
