Jaguar XJ40 AJ6 3.6 Cylinder head

Description:

Jaguar XJ40 AJ6 3.6 Cylinder head. Spares or repairs. See the notes below, 

Condition:

Used condition, working order- mileage was 80,000 when removed. But the engine had been unused for a long time. So some rust had formed in a few isolated places on the cams. It’s not on the tips, but around the flat sides. See pics for details. Subsequently I will have to classify this part are “spares or repairs”. Which means it may need further work before use. 
some of the exhaust studs are missing (not snapped, just missing).

Important note- valve stem seals are a common leak point on these engines/ cylinder heads. This dribble oil into the cylinders and can create some smoke at start up. Most of these engines do it at some point. When they run more often, this smoke can be very minimal, but when an engine has sat for an extended period, as this spare engine has, then it’s expected there will be some valve stem seal oil seepage into the cylinders. Options are to either rebuild the head with new seals, or add some seal conditioner into the oil, to reduce any oil leaks. With the head on a bench is the ideal time to renew the seals.
