In 1968, Jaguar changed the lobe pattern of the camshafts. This was not an emission change but rather a change to smooth out the tappet noise. The lobe engaged the tappet more gently rather than slapping. These cams can be installed in the earlier engines for a quieter running engine with no noticeable loss of power or smoothness. Just make sure that the adjustment is correct for the camshafts, not the year car. These cams adjust 0.012 to 0.014".
