Jaguar XJR Head Gasket Service - Part 2

The XJR is in the shop and the tear down has begun. We are documenting the process to tear down the XJR engine and get to the head gaskets to replace them. This will be a multi part series so follow along for the progress and we hope you enjoy!
As always thank you all for your continued support. We are excited to continue to share our love of all things automotive.

Hi! Will you give me advice please. I have an little oil leak from under the timing chain cover (AJ8). Mechanic says to replace timing chain cover gasket. For this action do I need to take out the engine? And do I need to disconnect the supercharger?

[@LowTechGarage]

Hey there. Engine does not need to be removed. You can leave the supercharger on but intercoolers will likely need to be removed.

@@LowTechGarage thank you very much!

[@AndreasRitt]

@@LowTechGarage Hi, help with one more question please! Spare parts such as: -supercharger intake air seal gasket; -supercharger plate clamp to intercooler; -intake manifold gasket are disposable parts?! I changed them 4 years ago (5000 kilometers)!
