Hi Mike,
Many thanks for your reply,

This makes good sense thank you!!

Hi Guys, I have a question for any XK engine specialists, I've recently stripped my spare 2.8 LTR XJ6 engine and on measuring the bores and pistons I have a skirt clearance of 0.9mm-0.1mm clearance.

... What's your experience been after fitting new seals do your doors shut as they should? ... I stuck the old seals back. They're old, and there's quite a lot of wind noise.

Now here is my question how easy is it to replace said seals? also from what I've read online so far is that they're a pain...

Many thanks for all your replies.

Many thanks for your replies Mike and Richard, do you know whether the genuine originals are still available Mike?
