Replacing Jaguar V8 Secondary Timing Chain Tensioners 

Great camera view, thanks for the video!

A+++ video! Sadly, Jaguar went from a "bullet-proof" engine in the 95-97 XJ6 to this in 1998 (USA)!

Thanks for the very informative video! Have you done maintenance on the S type R? Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Normally the tensioner upgrade requires 32 new parts because the lower tensioners are most of the time just as bad. They sell very good upgrade parts and you replace everything on the way because it will crack if you remove it or when you put it back together. We do it weekly.

I took a small vacation with my XJ40 around 2000km and all went fine, except for one big big problem: I hit a deer on the highway, at 100km/h. It was 11h00am monday. It had made a "poof" sound and then the front right of the car is destroyed, with a lot of ketchup everywhere. I was still 3 hours of road away from home and after a quick inspection, I went back home. i have already bought the parts to rebuild it, but it'll take some time... A bonnet, a fender, a light, flashers, corner of the bumper. Not a great week after that sadly... But, if I was in a small economy car, it could have gone very bad for me.

Great work Adam. You should put one of those engines in your S type. How cool would that be!

Another informative video Adam thanks for sharing this with us best regards Andy Allen.

Video approved good work, click.

Hi Adam Do you recommend changing the filter in the gearbox on these xk8 or xkrs Love the channel keep it up Thanks

In Adam we trust ........❤

If you want to exert force on an aluminum component, might a piece of wood be a suitable tool?

Hi thanks for the nice video. Do you have or make a video to check and adjust the valve clearance of a xjs v12. Thanks

Hi I love your videos are you going to do a video on the tvr griffith

Adam is there a way to remove the cams without removing the front cover. I have the timing tools. I need to replace the valve stem seals on the same engine using air or rope method.

The chains were so much stronger on an AJ6. Sad to see the Ford-ification of some important engine parts.

Adam is that the Buick based V8 that Rover originally ran?
