"Early cars" 5-6 pounds
"Late cars" 7-8 pounds
No mention of breakpoint between eary and late nor why there would be a difference...unless the gasket material was changed, I suppose.
Personally, I use a firm "three finger pull" on the cam cover nuts.

I used 10lb seemed pretty light. Good sites for parts but the postage from the usa is ridiculous. They seem to have to use a private contractor uspc so when I order a jaguar sticker for $6.50 they want to charge me $56 for delivery. So sorry but im not liking being robbed. I find buying on ebay small items from the UK, couple of dollars. Ive sent them an email to find out if we can be more reasonable.

I have the same problem ordering from UK to USA, exhorbitant costs via Royal Mail. So you are saying that it costs little to ship from UK to AU ? I wonder how they do it.

Jose,
I had a 16kg (approx 38 lbs) package of auto parts shipped from the UK. It was sent 3-day mail at a cost of 141.20 pounds. I shipped a 24 lb package to North Carolina, Fedex next day delivery at a cost of $220.76. Royal mail is a lot cheaper than you think. Which Royal Mail are you using???

From the service manual:
"Early cars" 5-6 pounds
"Late cars" 7-8 pounds

{see attached chart}. Another distinction between Early and Later is the Kiekert door locking system introduced for 1986 cars.
I assume everybody knows that torque wrench settings are in FOOT POUNDS, not "POUNDS" per se.

Gah! What a dope I am for missing that !

In terms of early/late engine changes a car with Kiekert locks would definitely be "late", yes, as engine numbers were up in the 167xxx range in mid-85 when the Kiekert system was introduced.

Just a mention, I have found both cam cover hardware and new Jag stickers on E-bay, and many ship internationally. Usually - not always - they run a bit cheaper than some of the Jag specific sites. I wasn't sure some of what I was looking for was "legit" jag parts, but do far everything I have ordered has come with Jag paperwork. May be worth a look.
