JAGUAR STEEL LINE REPLACMENT XK8 / X100 EARLY 4.0 V8 STEEL LINED COMPLETE ENGINE (AJ26) 50K MILES

4.0-litre Jaguar V8 AJ26 engine available for sale.

These early AJ26 engines are well known for having originally been fitted with Nikasil-coated cylinder bores. Over time, the Nikasil coating could be affected by certain fuel and operating conditions, potentially leading to cylinder wear, loss of compression and engine failure.

Jaguar subsequently addressed this issue with later/replacement blocks using steel cylinder liners, providing a more durable and reliable solution.

This engine for sale is a steel-lined block, making it a desirable option for anyone looking to replace an early Nikasil engine or carry out an AJ26 V8 restoration or engine conversion.
