RE: 98 Jag Engines-All Bad?
while we're on the 98 Nikasil issue.....my 98 XJR has over 130,000 with the original, Nikasil-lined engine. Apparently the Nikasil lining gets chewed up by high sulfur fuels - not a big issue now with most fuel being extremely low in sulfur.
my question is....does the Nikasil lining wear out faster with normal wear and tear, or is it more of an "all or none" issue with sulfur exposure? I'm wondering if I should expect a short life for my engine, or perhaps I'm in the clear. Anyone know how Nikasil lining holds up when sulfur is not an issue?

xjr engine are normally better and outlast the naturally aspirated... if the gasoline is really low in sulfur.. and is high quality.. and you don't make frequent stops in the cold with out letting the engine warm up.. and your battery is always up to snuff.then you shud have no problems..
