Thanks for the clarification! It will help me very much!

This is my first rodeo... so when you refer to "factory inserts", what are you referring to? Does the gasket kit come with Felpro "inserts" which are inferior to the "factory inserts" ? Also, the reply which referred to "the metal cuppy thing" being too thick causing a poor seal, what part is...

THANK YOU ALL for the great replies! I appreciate the various experiences and perspectives! I will verify the Felpro Gasket number in the kit I got to be sure that it is the same as mentioned in replies.

I have a 1996 and 1998 xj w/4.0 motors. I have them both out being rebuilt at a local machine shop. I supplied the gasket set from Felpro, but the rebuilder said he prefers the VALVE COVER GASKETS to be OEM, as in his experience, the Felpro ones leak. I said that the OEM ones leak and I would...

So when you say "Sticking", that would be a dysfunction causing the fan to run after shut off or cause it to NOT run after shut off?

But mine DID run after shutdown for a few days and occasionally. That suggests that it is made to, but is not functioning properly. Many vehicles do this by design. How would you or I know if the 1998 XJ for UK market does or does not? If it does not, then what causes mine to do so occasionally...

I have a 1998 XJ 4.0 (factory right hand drive from Scotland). It's temp gauge is in Celsius so it reads 40 at far left(cold), 100 at center, 125 at far right (hot). It typically runs at or just below 100, which is 212f (boiling point of water). On a warm to hot day it will sometimes go over...
