CAM COVER
#1

Hi, I am refurbishing my cam cover on my 4.0 XJS and installing new seals and coil gaskets. I purchased all the parts from SJ Barrett, and everything looks good. When the cam cover gasket came it was in all twisted up in a mail envelope. I took it and hung it to get the wrinkle's out. As I tried to install it today the gasket is actually a little larger in length than it needs to be. QUESTION, could it have stretched from hanging it up? 2. Can I cut a small piece out of each side to get a correct fit. I'm replacing because of some small oil leaks.
Thanks
Thanks

You have an aftermarket gasket, most likely, those things are all too long. Will they work, I think so, but it’s a beast to get it to stick to the camcover long enough to mount it properly. It can be done.
I would suggest using some gasket dressing like Permtex Permashield 85420. It’ll help it stick.
Do not cut it.
