Thinking of going to the Dark Side
#21
I've checked the Jaguar parts catalogue but it doesn't mention rubber bung anywhere; must be a bit they borrowed from Aston Martin.
CPS fits just below the little shelf thing below part 17 which I guess is the front crank seal (which is not visibly leaking).
So, if the CPS on the 3.6 has a gasket, would the whole little thing have been carried over from the V12?
Just noticed; 19 is no where near the crank, are we talking about the same thing?
XJR-s has a re-valved steering rack, tricky to find anyone that knows anything about them.
Thinking of adding dry porridge and treacle, steers like a super tanker at slow speeds anyway!

Can you enlighten us Greg as I have ordered one of these and will be fitting it soon. Thanks
The OEM gaskets are cork and not much good. The above gasket is top notch stuff, a thin metal core with neoprene each side. get a tube of high temp gasket dressing;

Smear a VERY THIN coat each side of the gasket and nip it up not too tight. Job done. Grant makes 100% RTV gaskets, which are also 100% leakproof. If you ask him, or do a search, you will find his advice.

From memory I would say no gasket on cps. Others may no better. From experience be very very careful removing the old timing chain adjuster plug. I was forewarned by others on here . The plug goes into a hard lump due to heat and there is the possibility of it dropping back into the chain aperture . I have just done mine and looking at it all seemed well. Upon removal I was shocked at the condition of the rubber. Really glad I changed it and thanks to Greg and grant once more for some top advice. Hope this helps.

So, left it sat in the garage for 3 weeks, happily dribbling away to itself like an elderly relative in a home....
Started immediately, backed it out of the garage, perched it on the pavement (sidewalk), left it running and peered underneath the back end.
Unfortunately nobody jumped in the driver's seat and stole it but luckily my enormous **** wasn't wiped out by a passing bus whilst I was bent over (an irregular, undignified and uncomfortable position if I may say so).
Spotted the dribble!
Everyone was totally wrong (including myself); it is petrol dripping out of the drain hole in the boot (trunk).
Great.
Had a replacement tank fitted 3 years ago.
Anyway, rubber gloves on tomorrow and fettle around the derriere to see where it's coming from.
Might light a big stogie before I go in.
