Try to find a 03+ 4.0l head. It doesn't have the casting flaw that causes the cracking. Its stamped TUPY between cyl 3 and 4.

Is the 2003+tuby head a direct bolt on, no modifications? Can i still use my new fel-pro head gasket kit and new fel-pro head bolts for the 2001 head with the newer tupy head? Thanks Veeb0rg.

You should be able to use the same gaskets with the TUPY head. It still is an 0331 head it has just had the design fixed.

New guy here from baltimore co. Just picked up a 1 owner 72k mile 01 xj sport for two hundred bucks with a clean md. title. Previous owner overheated it. He blew the headgasket and after i removed the head i found out the head is cracked and a piston is damaged. Now i'm pulling the engine, my local machine shop is gonna hone the cyl., replace the piston, piston rings and bearings for $350.00 Any info for finding a good usuable 2000 or 2001 head is appriecated. Is'nt it funny how projects snowball! lol!!!
That is a sweet XJ

3 of the videoas on my Kodak Playsport were corrupted from this weekend. Managed to get a partial recovery of them, hope to have the full recovery done in a few days.

As you guys check out the different junkyards, can you keep an eye out for a 4 cyl XJ with a complete front differential.
Thanks
