I have a 86 Jag XJS v12. ANd I need to remove the radiator. ANd as most of you may know the hood hinges are in the front. Which makes it kinda hard to get to. Do I have to remove the hood to get the radiator out? Advice greatly appreciated

Fan, ac compressor, stuff like that. Use carboard or rubber mats. Better yet, remove the fan....

Cover which part of the engine? The "V"? Or where the water pump and stuff is? It looks like an awful tight fit. Gonna give it a whirl tomorrow. Thanks?

No, it can be lifted-and-tilted out. Drape some heavy material over the front of the engine so you don't gouge the *&^$ out of it and you'll be wise to enlist a second set of hands
