I am doing a change of cam cover gaskets to cure oil seepage issue. I have looked at the couple of guides found on this. Each refer to tech manual on the car for tightening values and sequence.
It appears that everyone knows where to find this or has purchased this somewhere. I have not found the location of any tech manual for my engine in spite of multiple searches on many occasions. I always ended up getting specific help from listmates which I appreciate, but
if there is a tech manual available I would like to get my hands on it. All guidance/assistance greatly appreciated!
.Thanks,
Ken Miller

 

Ken,
The workshop manuals are in the stickies at the top of the main forum page here:
https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...ts-data-29800/

Navigate there and do a page search (CTRL-F on most browsers) for 'workshop'.

You want the second edition - 1999. Once you have it downloaded, look for section valve cover lh 12.29.43. The R&R procedures are in there for both, including tightening sequence and torque.

Be sure to include the spark plug boss seals*, isolators and VVT seals in your replacement parts.

Good luck,
Mike

* NB these are separate on your car, rather than the 'pair of specs' shown in the manual.

 

Mike, I am most appreciative of your quick response. I never before looked so far down the stickies page to see the link you sent me to. I am so happy to have this. Thanks!!
