Xu9J Block And Main Caps - Are They Matched?

[kenp 3]

I have an XU9J block (which I'm trying to sell) but have mislaid / lost the main caps - are these inline bored like the old Ford engines (and hence need to be kept as matched sets) or will a set of main caps from another XU9J block work due to modern (well OK, 1980s) tolerences being better?

Main caps are always matched in my experience. The blocks not worth much without them to me anyway.

Cheers Tom... I kinda suspected that was case.

 

Probably weigh it in then.
