Default Will Lincoln LS Cam Cover Gasket work?
Hello fellow "S" Type philes. The STR needs new cam cover gaskets. Will the Lincoln LS cam cover gaskets interchange?

Thanks Police666. I went ahead and ordered an STR cam cover gasket kit from JagBits. Likely the same for the LS.

Yes they fit. As you know the 3.9 LS and the 4.0 Jaguar motors are exactly the same bore and stroke. So they are almost completely identical except for the VVT.
