hole?

and there is a plug, about 1" in diameter that takes a 5/8" allen key
(if I rememebr right). Remove the plug, and screw in the block heater. I
think mine is 1500 watts, and it works quite well.
I use it anytime the garage is below 50 degrees and the car starts
noticably better after being plugged in for an hour. I doubt that a 200
watt heater would do much good, given the size of the XK block.
The screw in heaters are available up here for about $25 CDN/$16 US. I
can send you one if you can’t find one down there.
The weather in New England this fall/winter has been wonderful so far.
It
has just gotten cold but the roads in my part of the world are still
sand and
salt free and I am reluctant to stop driving.
Has anyone fitted an engine heater and if so what type is preferred?
My
local auto parts place has 2 types: a magnetic one designed to stick
to the
block or one designed to go into the lower radiator hose. The
magnetic
variety is only 200 watts and the hose mount is 600 watts.

The thread is 1" NPT, 11.5 TPI.
The maker is Phillips and Temro Industries, Winnipeg, Manitoba.
The application chart that came with it is an odd collection of cars:
Jaguar all 6 cyl 1952-94, V12 1971-94
Eagle 88-89 2.2 L
Jeep 84-87 2.1 L diesel
Renault 84-86 2.2 L
GMC Forward tiltmaster truck, 84-92
Along with assorted tractors!
Hopefully this helps,

I take it you have never read the application sheet for the oil filter?
This is from the Kleen-Pak brand GFE101:
“This cartridge replaces most Ferguson and Fordson Major Diesel tractor
filters.”
The outside of the box lists most Jaguars including the XKE…61-69 and
XKE 4.2…70-71.

No, I’ve never seen that brand. I buy my filters from the dealer now. I used
to get the Fram’s but they have changed recently and don’t include the O
ring anymore, instead there is a cork gasket.

I got those from XK’s. They come packed with two different cork gaskets
and two different “O” rings, one of which fits the e-type.
I have 3 or 4 of them but I switched to the spin on type adapter so now
it uses conventional type filters.
