4.2 s/c crank pulley on a 4.0s/c
#3
It’s no problem to do as Adam699 mentions. You need to also use the front cover of the 4.2 engine, and you have to use a 6 rib fead belt, iirc the Gates K060935 will be a fit.
As I needed to replace my original lower pulley (the fead ring wasn’t centered anymore), I went also for the 4.2 one which has probably even better damping qualities as the supercharger ring is also part of the damper (contrary to the 4.0 one).
At 1st I was hesitant to do, as my other pulleys (alternator, water pump, pas pump and airco) where still 7 rib, and thought there could be a chance that the belt could hop, but so far after about 15Kmiles all is well, and I don’t expect it to jump anymore.

Just asking what is the reason for the cover swap is it the crank seal or something else front cover is like $500 buck new I could get a overdrive lower pulley for that I was hopping for a cheaper and safer way for more boost than just an upper pulley thank you for the help if you guys might know where I could get a used cover I'm all ears none on eBay right now.
Thanks again
Thanks again

Sorry to resurrect an old thread (but I'm afraid the pics on this thread work no more https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...d-61113/page4/ ) Would you be able to answer why is it the front cover needs to be swapped?
Thanks,
