@Longtrail I’m still up in the air on switching to the upgraded metal parts for everything; I haven’t seen a lot of feedback on here for those that have converted. I probably need to scan the jag forums to get more results and see which brand is more popular (I think there are a few now)

Chains still feel tight using the finger test through the oil filler; 5-7k mi oil change intervals since I’ve owned it at 50k.

I may throw on some pulleys/tensioners while it’s apart, but I’m not too terribly concerned since those can be accessed without SC removal. The biggest concern is what should I do at this mileage that would require SC removal again within a short timeframe

JLR makes metal pipes now. I have a set I’ll sell you, I bought them thinking I could make it work on the NA motor but yea way different. I don’t think the dealer will accept the return. Not my photo but this is them.

I noticed those in a few SC V8 Jag tear down images/videos, but I wasnt sure if they were actually OEM, or just a much higher quality fake. Some Chinese parts are very convincing and its not like It'd be hard to 3D scan the OEM part which would capture the logos and such (or import the point cloud and add the logos in a CAD later).
The reason I was unsure if they were legit is that, that the rear manifold is still plastic on those engines in the teardowns I've seen. Seems odd JLR would have realized Metal was better for the front manifold but not the rear one.

If you bought them from a Dealer, what dealer was it? The dealers around DC don't seem to know anything about metal coolant pipes when I called and asked.
Whatever dealer will sell them to me will get my money.
