Replacing head gaskets on my 2010 XF that has the one year only European 5.0L (AJ133) non supercharged engine in it. Have new M10X175 stretch bolts but cannot for the life of me find any information regarding head bolt torque specifications. If anyone has any information or experience with installing these heads it would be much appreciated...Derek

 

The head bolt torque specs vary, they are done up in a staged process.
Download the 2010-2011 XFR Workshop Manual from my Dropbox here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bet26xniua...kshop.pdf?dl=0
You then want pages 934 to 962.
Don't worry that the Manual is for the XFR, it also covers the NA version of the AJ133 engine.

 

Thank you OzXFR. You are a lifesaver my friend...Cheers

 

Yep, he's a really good dude. We used to share genetics, but not sure if we still do. Oz, do you still have the XFR?

 

No, I sold it last April.
For around $20,000 AU less than it was really worth, I had it advertised since I got the F-Type in September last year but hardly got a single nibble despite regularly dropping the price. It's such a small market for that type of car here in Oz, even more so in the tiny little backwater that is South Australia.
I still miss it, the V6 in the F-Type is a pretty good engine but the V8 is so much better, I wish I could afford an F-Type R but they are stupid expensive here.
