Re: Yep, "Rolon" is DEFINITELY rubbish.
I'm having to replace the head gasket, and doing the studs and bolts as well. And, as it's not too big a job to do the tensioner at the same time, I reckon I'll get one of these Jag ones again - I got one from a Jag main dealer back in the 90s, but didn't think it was a different part, just a different supply chain (NPI).
Anyway, what's the consensus on replacing the chain at 50k as well, and where's a good source?

The 16v Slant 4 engine is more fun than the 3.5 V8, because you mostly drive it on the upslope of the torque curve.
Factory 1977 TR7 Sprint FHC VVC 697S (Now all of, but still needs putting together)
B&Y 73 Dolomite Sprint UVB 274M (kids!)
1970 Maroon 13/60 Herald Convertable (wife's fun car).
