I stumbled over a thread that mentions an aluminum distribution pipe for the AJ27 engine. I just bought a plastic distribution pipe since that's all I could find. I'm curious about an aluminum upgrade. Does an aluminum distribution pipe for the 4.0L engine really exist? If so, where can I get one please.

Thanks in advance.

 

What is a distribution pipe? Can you take a picture for us?

 

I have never seen a Coolant Outlet Pipe (AJ85885) in anything other than RESIN (plastic).

 

If that's what he's talking about it's probably a reference to the Hose Blown Off thread by stefinniz in which he thought a XKR pipe was the same as the XK8 pipe. So no, there is not an aluminum pipe for the XK8.

 

Thanks. Since plastic is all there is then I guess I've done the best I can.
