Valve cover gasket set

Is it possible to buy a complete valve cover gasket set? I’m having trouble locating this for 97 4.0 XK8.

This is the set I bought for my 97 several years ago. I think it's actually cheaper now.:

oops- you also need a set of isolators, that's why it's cheaper.

I presume you mean the camshaft cover gasket. Try https://www.terrysjag.com/

Great service with on line chat with someone in case you have a problem. Just be careful with your 1997 Gen1 model, as my 1999 XK8 had the AJ26 engine switched out for a AJ27 engine. The two engines have a different gasket sets. as can be seen from Terry's Jag website.
