I think the main difference between AJ16 & AJ6 cylinder heads are the exhaust manifold studs are in different places. I'm pretty sure everything else will fit inc camshafts, rocker cover etc.

Hi, I've changed a few aj6 & aj16 head gaskets. It's relatively straight forward but the head is heavy so care must be taken when removing and refitting. All the advice given so far is worth following. I recommend changing the headbolts and the water hose below the inlet manifold. Also you need the ...

Good morning Keith,

Is there a specific time that you would like the XJ's to be there?

Looks like an easy 90 mile drive so just need to know what time to set off.

Weather forecast is looking good for Sunday - fingers crossed for sunny weather.

Good morning Keith,
Sounds like a great day out so if you can squeeze my XJC I would be grateful. Gives me incentive to sort out my clutch!

Just a quick post as still looking to see if anyone has a tatty old Series Jaguar XJ6 for spares or a complete engine/gearbox assembly available. It only needs to run for a maximum of ten minutes to drive onto a container for over seas shipping to the USA so don't care about oil pressure/ water leak...

Main improvements are a sports exhaust, bigger pulley, sports cams (from the XJR/40) and splitting the intercooler from the main engine cooling system. Its quite a low level of tune so the smoothness and MPG is almost unaffected. However, aft...

Hi, I have an aj16 supercharged engine fitted to my old xjc. The timing cover has started to leak. It's already had a new head gasket and I've just serviced it so don't want to strip it all down. It looks like the blue sealant I used for the timing cover has dissolved when in contact with the oil ev...

Hi Keith, your right about XK engines getting hard to get hold of, I gave my old one away a few years ago!!! I have noticed that that once common and cheap models like the Series XJ's and XJS's are now getting thin on the ground. A look in the JEC mag shows how few XJ's are for sale and good old Eba...

I have a an XJC fitted with an AJ16 engine. However, I am moving abroad and need to return the car to standard spec for export. Does anyone have available either a complete XJ series 2 or 3 or engine with ancillaries (carbs, mounts etc) and gearbox available. Dosnt matter if engine needs a rebuild, ...
