I have to change my Cam Gaskets both the main and the inner ones that keep oil from getting onto the plugs. That means I might as well replace the intake manifold gaskets on my 03 X-Type with 115,000 Miles on it. I took off the manifold and ready to replace the upper gaskets, but how do I replace the lower gaskets? I'm not seeing what I am supposed to be doing. Please help.

PS. I am changing my spark plugs too... along with a bunch of other stuff. 900 dollars worth of parts to be exact.

 

It's pretty much the same as the S Type isn't it?
So take a look here post #9.

Thank you Blaydes!!! I knew it had to be under the fuel rail, but what I was trying to figure out is how to get the fuel rail off without taking the entire thing apart. I'm not going to lie, the Jaguar engineering team (or whoever designed the engine) did so many things wrong, but they also did so many things right. Now if the weather will clear up, I can get back to fixing my car and hopefully putting everything back together properly. Wish me luck!

 

Now if I could remember back to last year, I'd have recommended your thread.
