There are several iterations to the V/C gasket set....To insure getting the correct parts for your car, perhaps you should consider getting them from a Jaguar dealer...Many aftermarket sources lump year models together, such that if you don't actually know what you need, you end up in the 'parts return' cycle, thereby eliminating any price discount you might have otherwise gained, and taking lots more time to finish the job....

Thank you gentlemen-
I just need to get this leak fixed It is causing periodical check engine lights and OBDII CODES
P0174
I AM UNDERSTANDING THAT THE HISSING SOUND COMING FROM BEHIND THE THROTTLE-BODY IS THE RESULT OF VALVE COVERS LEAKING.i AM SUSPECTING THIS IS CAUSING A DISRUPTION IN MY VACUUM LINES i HAVE CHECKED EVERY VACUUM LINE AND I CANT FIND A THING WRONG
I HAVE A LEAK SO BAD THAT THE UNDER BODY AND EXHAUST WAS COVERED IN OIL THAT MY MECHANIC ASKED ME TO HOSE IT DOWN BEFORE HE COULD DIAGNOSE .i BELIEVE THE PREVIOUS OWNER NEGLECTED THIS SIMPLE SERVICE.

Google Chris's Foreign Auto Parts, he's in NJ. I'd suggest if you're going this far that you replace the VC bolt gaskets, plug seals, VVC gaskets, and the VC gaskets themselves. I just finished a full timing component job and got a kit from them that had every thing I needed including the options for different VVC setup (I finished with extra parts). I saw a bunch of info that indicated you had a different color gasket for left and right valve cover. I got 2 black gaskets and it took about 10 seconds to figure out which one went on a valve cover, no idea why they'd need to be color coded.

Hi JF fam,
I am planning for the replacment of my valve cover gaskets an I am wanting to know if I'm going to need more parts other than what is included in this kit: JAGUAR V8 4.0L 1997-98 VALVE COVER GASKET KIT ?

Jim,
The "hissing" sound and the codes are definitely NOT caused by the leaking cover gaskets. It's most likely the vacuum line that goes from the driver side (US) cam cover to the back of the engine and connects to a T splitter around the throttle body. I had mine crack at the T, and it was making pretty loud hissing, and make the engine run really rough.
Also, once you pull the ignition coils out, expect so see oil in the spark plug wells... Make sure you siphon it out...
