3.0L What is that Center Cap Called & Where can i find a gasket??????
( 3.0L Duratec )Between the Heads under the Fuel injectors there is a Semi Large cap held by 2 bolts, what is this called and where can i get a gasket for it?? I have Oil all over my Garage Floors and oil is leaking from that cap.
If i cant find this gasket could i make a gasket that would fit?

Oh! I thought all 3.0L has the same? Its a 04 Jag Xtype with a 3.0L Duratec.
Its a oval looking cap with a big X stamped on it, its between both heads near the end of the block, two small bolts hold it down, when i opened the cap i could see right inside the engine block.
The rubber gaskets has seen better days!
I cant seem to find a name or a gasket for it anywhere.

I would guess that you could get the part from Ford it is their engine. Just don't remove it again.
Does this help you any with identification?

I removed it due to leaking already. Ive seen another post saying its called a valley cap??? whats its for I dont no?. "oh dont we love Fords"
Seems the only place to find a gasket is at the Dealer. Im not about to spend $50 for some rubber gasket prob. made in china.. I will make my own. shoooots if i had a aluminum welder i would weld a plate on it.

I found another picture here on the 3.0L rebuilt page https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...hlight=jfenley (picture is about mid way down on page)Black cap with 3 holes and a X stamped on it. Im still looking for the proper/part# name for this cap.
