Thermostat Gasket, '96 XJS 4.0
Hi Folks,
I need to replace the thermostat (again) is my '96 XJS (4.0 six, like all '96s). I just received the replacement from SNG Barratt, but no gaskets included. Now I'm confused because I see pictures on-line of round O-rings and flat "old-fashioned" eared gaskets. I know there is a flat gasket on the housing, but is it supposed to have a round O-ring too? And on the flat gasket, 2 of 3 parts stores list a beck-arnley gasket that has four ears instead of the two my car has, but maybe it fits if you cut the two extra ears off? I'm mixed up. I appreciate your cumulative wisdom as usual.

Thank you, Grant. And how about this part number? Beck/Arnley Thermostat Gasket Part#: 039-0026. Almost every place on-line says this fits, but it has four bolt holes vs. two on Jasmine, but maybe we have to cut off the two extra. The other part that might fit (according to internet) is the Fel-Pro 2202, but most places say that is for a chevy small block, though it looks like the gasket I remember.
Thanks,

Jaguar shows an O ring: https://www.jaguarclassicparts.com/u...hose-4-0-litre
I can confirm that there is no o-ring on the 1996 Jaguar AJ16 engine for sure. You need a gasket.
JDHT is not infallible.

The AJ6 has an o/ring, well my daughters 3.6 does, no idea on the later 3.2/4.0 engines, probably the same.
