General Procedures: Check
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2015 Jaguar XKR-S, 2015 Jaguar XKR, 2015 Jaguar XK, 2014 Jaguar XKR-S, and 2014 Jaguar XKR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Using a suitable metallic straight edge and feeler gauge, measure the cylinder head face in the areas illustrated. Note the maximum value.
CAUTION:
Machine the minimum
thickness of material from the cylinder head to meet specification. If a selection of cylinder head gaskets are available, increase the thickness of the cylinder head gasket by one size.
NOTE:
- Prior to having the cylinder head machined, prior approval is required by Jaguar or Land Rover engineering.
- If the cylinder head requires machining, this must be carried out by a local engineering company.
If the cylinder head exceeds the maximum value (0.2mm), the cylinder head must be machined.
