XK8 service tech in Portland OR area ?
Now that we have owned our 2000 XK8 for about 36 hours I'm starting to compile a list of things to do. Some jobs are just deeper than I want to do... The Secondary timing chain tensioner replacement comes to mind. Can anyone recommend a tech in the Portland OR to Spokane WA area? We are closest to Hood River if that helps fine it down.
I may go after the tensioner replacement if the cost to have someone do it hurts too much. As a side I have fully rebuilt a 2l Fiat engine and transmission. But I do have other projects to work on.
So far the service tasks that I've got on my list are:
1) secondary tensioner replacement
2) front shock mount bushings
3) flush out the transmission fluid
4) track down some minor oil weeping around what I guess are the variable cam timing actuators and other such places
I've read that there is a replacement part for the 5 speed ZF transmission that MAY help keep it from going south. And it appears that the thermostat housing et al has been replaced with an aluminum one (p/n AJ82217). So that is off the list - but I don't have any info on a water
pump replacement.
I probably need to learn about an d inspect the convertible hydraulic hoses and pump
Feel free to add to the list!

This place in Vancouver comes to mind:

There are surely others.
"The Jag Shop" in Portland was the go-to place for years but it shut down 4-5 years ago
