Good morning everybody!
Just arrived “here” and scanned the forum for a burning question.
A will replace a cylinder head gasket of engine # 7L478583. I got a gasket (set) BHS.024 with conflicting years. The ad said '75 to '79. The sticker on the set says 1983 - 1986, and 1979 - 1986. My vehicle registration says 1973, but it’s not the matching number motor.
Can this fit above engine, and if not what is the difference?
We are using the XJ6 motors in a budget D-Type replica here in South Africa 
I believe the split is shown by engine number in the Parts Manual, and takes place at the Fuel Injection change from Carbs. I do not know if they interchange

The seller got back to me. Seems it’s only the cam covers which are different, or that part of the head respectively.
check the archives… I vaguely remember something about the wrong head gasket plugging water passages. Or could be a different engine all together that I’m thinking about; or just high on crack. (kidding!!)
It’s a crack-thing. You were referring to the single cylider from Jaguar
