So I purchased my 1998 xk8 with problems. I disassembled the engine to find that one of the valves has dropped. I have decided to rebuild the engine but want to cut costs where I can, I have heard that the head bolts might be the same on a lincoln LS, is this true? Also would the lincoln LS headgasket work?

 

I purchased Land Rover head bolts for a lot less than Jaguar charges. I also have a couple of spare head gaskets for your car I will sell cheap.

 

Thank you for the quick reply, how would I go about purchasing the head gaskets from you?

 

I know the head bolts are of the stretch variety but it is well know amongst people that rebuild these engines that they can be used at least once more. I have done it, the only time I have not is if I know the heads have been off before and don't want to take the chance of a 3rd tightening sequence, does constitute a good saving if you do not have to replace them
