Cylinder Block: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Jaguar XK, 2014 Jaguar XK, 2013 Jaguar XK, and 2012 Jaguar XK. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The cylinder block is a 90 degree configuration with cast-in iron cylinder liners and an open deck die-cast coolant jacket. The low volume coolant jacket gives good warm-up times and low piston noise levels. The longitudinal flow design of the coolant jacket, with a single cylinder head coolant transfer port in each bank, provides good rigidity and head gasket sealing.
The cylinders are numbered as shown below.
