Is Jaguar capable of killing big crocodiles ?

You're going off a single study from years ago, Caiman suffered extreme hunting. 100s of thousands killed every year, since their numbers have returned so has their size and this has a direct correlation with Jaguar numbers and sizes as well.
In the meeting of 3 rivers alone, you have a density of 65 known adult jaguars with an additional 22 new ones recorded this year alone and from the time of Almeidas book where some of their largest cats were 120kg you now see many over 130kgs -140kg or more. *confirmed by oncafari and Panthera.*
Like I've said, I've seen 1000s of Caiman, my source is my eyes, guides like Paulo Barreiros and people like @epaiva will all confirm that they can get to 10' and 100kg as well.
I'm 6'5", I know when something dwarfs me and quite a few of them were much longer than I was tall, it wasn't close. Their weight estimate is modest imo, some I saw seemed larger than 100kg but I'd rather be conservative with my estimate.

I've seen a few claims of Jags killing black Caiman as well, but also dont think a Jaguar can kill an adult Black Caiman, especially since Jags are smaller in the Amazon compared to the Pantanal as well.

The claim of them hunting by ambush is pointless, the reason they ambush is because those Caiman are gone the sec they suspect any cat near them. This is strictly because they are all prey and nothing more, why would they stick around and fight an animal that hunts them every chance they get?

You've never seen Jaguars hunting Caiman in deep water then dragging their bodies up sand banks?
I suggest you look through the "jaguar predation" thread from start to finish. You'll see many videos of that happening along with black Caiman claims and some videos as well, although I believe the videos are staged and so do most of the guides I've spoken to about it. Reply
