Frequently asked questions

What is the Standard Piston Assembly for the 4.2 XK?
This piston assembly is the standard bore size for the 4.2-litre Jaguar XK six-cylinder engine, for a block whose bores remain at their original diameter. The piston runs in the bore and connects through the gudgeon pin to the connecting rod. It's the high-compression 9:1 version. Fitted to the XJ6 Series 3.
When do I use a standard piston instead of oversize?
Use a standard piston when the cylinder bores are still at their original diameter and haven't been rebored. If a block has been machined oversize to clean up wear, you'd need the matching oversize piston instead. Measure the bores before ordering to confirm they're still at standard size.
How many standard pistons does the 4.2 XK engine need?
The 4.2-litre XK six-cylinder engine in the XJ6 Series 3 uses six pistons, one per cylinder. This is the 9:1 high-compression standard-size version. Fit them as a matched set during a rebuild, so order six of the same size to keep the reciprocating weights even.
