4.0L 6-CYL VIN [7] Article Text (p. 3) 1995 Jaguar XJ Remove cam follower from valve requiring adjustment. Remove adjusting pad, and measure its thickness. Use adjusting pad's measured thickness and difference between valve's measured clearance and specified clearance to calculate required thickness of NEW adjusting pad. NOTE: Always return cam followers to their original position. 8) Adjusting pads are available in .001" (.03 mm) increments, ranging from .085" (2.16) to .108" (2.74 mm), and are marked with letters from "A" to "Z" respectively. Insert correct adjusting pads, and install cam followers. Ensure No. 1 piston is at TDC. Install intake camshaft, and align it with timing gauge. CAUTION: Always use NEW cylinder head bolts. 9) Lubricate cam bearing caps with clean engine oil. Install No. 1 bearing cap. Remove No. 7 cap cylinder head bolt and spacer. Install No. 7 bearing cap. Alternately tighten No. 1 and 7 bearing caps. Remove spacers from cylinder head in following order: No. 4, 2, 3, 5 and 6. After one spacer is removed, immediately install camshaft bearing cap before removing next spacer. 10) Ensure intake camshaft is still at TDC. Install exhaust camshaft, and align it with timing gauge. Repeat step 9) for exhaust camshaft bearings. Tighten NEW cylinder head bolts in sequence to 43- 45 ft. lbs. (59-61 N.m), then turn bolt an additional 90 degrees. See Fig. 2. 11) Fit camshaft sprockets onto camshafts. Move all slack in timing chain to tensioner side. Install Upper Chain Tensioner Tool (18G 1436). See Fig. 3. Tighten center bolt on tensioner tool to tension upper chain. Fig. 2: Cylinder Head Tightening Sequence Courtesy of Jaguar Cars Inc.
