I suggest some of teh sponsors on this site, like XNG Barratt, etc.
Not sure if things have changed since I was with Jaguar, but back then AJ16 pistons were NOT sold seperately. They were matched to the block, and that was a PITA, but failures of that engine are rare, so maybe not so silly.
Rings, bearings, seals, chains, dampers/guides etc, no problems.
THERE YA GO, corrected myself.
Piston assemblies are available, in STD (Standard) and 0.002" oversize. Thats it, as that block is not able to be machined in the bores.
You will need to specify 3.2 or 4.0ltr.

Yeah, I remember maybe 10 years ago trying to help a fellow main and con-rod bearings for an AJ16. No joy.
The conclusion we drew was that there simply was no demand for them....thus no supply. As time goes by a demand might develop....as sooner or later even the famously robust AJ16s will eventually start wearing out.
I also remember, from about the same time, a USA Jag vendor (Motorcars LTD, perhaps?) having a 20-30 low mileage AJ16s from wrecked cars on hand...and offering them at a silly-low price (like $300 each or some such) just to move 'em. There was simply no demand, thus they were stacking up in their storage yard.

You will find all the info here:

If its not there, then you can safely assume that probably no one else knows or the info wasn't shared anywhere else.

Can someone explain the crankshaft journal bearings ( item # 2 ) different numbers for me ? Are they oversize or hardness related ?
