Default Head Gaskets

Lots written and I've searched these pages.

Do the 4.2 gaskets fit 4.0 cars.

Seems that they fit the AJ27 engines but not the AJ26 versions.

Can someone confirm either way please.

No idea, but thought I'd just say hi, since I'm about to do mine and would appreciate the answer too.

The jaguar ones are good, really np, but you could also use the cometic ones (C4376 & C4377, 030 thick)
