Get A Quieter Running Engine With A Cylinder Head Done Right

A properly reconditioned cylinder head can make all the di erence between a professional restoration and just a lot of
money down the drain. A properly clearanced and assembled cylinder head will run quieter, too. XKS Motorsport’s extensive

experience with Jaguar engine building and head reconditioning pays dividends to you over the long term. All pricing and

procedures are based on the customer providing a cylinder head worthy of reconditioning.

XKS Motorsport
has done quality Jaguar engine work for more than 40 years. We know the XK engine and how to
repair them right. The newest XK engine is now over 30 years old and many are 60 or more. A lot of heads have seen years of

abuse and rebuilding at the hands of the inexperienced. We recently installed a Sardi 3.0 head, seat and valve grinding ma-

chine to increase the accuracy and speed at which we can “turnaround” your cylinder head.

While not all cylinder heads are in great shape, many are candidates for a routine service based on typical needs. Bear in mind
each cylinder head can have its own combination of problems, so the rst step is a close inspection. The parts and procedures

shown here will apply to most heads.
