The direct connection to the XK was therefore broken and attention moved to use of modern techniques and materials.ĭespite being cast in aluminium the AJ6 cylinder block is extremely stiff and rugged, having been designed with the possibility in mind that there might be a diesel version at some future date. It actually started out as a four valve conversion based on an updated version of the XK cylinder block but ended up as a completely fresh design using the V12 bore spacing, making possible fitment of the HE type of cylinder head to create the 2.9 to meet a perceived economy market.
The AJ6 engine can be thought of as almost a hybrid, owing much to both the old XK twin cam and the later V12. THE JAGUAR AJ6 ENGINE - 3.2, 3.6, AND 4.0 LITRE
