Also I am pretty sure they have exhaust manifolds cast to the heads, so no aftermarket headers, ever, and if a manifold cracks, 'sup new $1000 cylinder head plus another $1k of head work to reassemble it.
But back on topic, you know you drive an XJ when you and your brother are tearing down his E30 BMW and its simple to figure out, but the OHC I6 just looks so weird.

Was gonna trade and let me wife drive it

YKYDAXJW you drive 100 miles to pick up a new to me rear axle assembly and your heater coil blows up. Murphy's law!
