Hi to everyone;
i just joined the forum, and am looking forward to learning a lot..
I purchased a 1998 xk8 conv.. Carnival red with 26000 miles on it.

So far, i have had the valve cover gaskets replaced, but still leaking.....
During this winter, i will get the timing chain tensioners replaced, and probably the water pump////

any other suggstions///

glad to be onboard....

Dick

Welcome to the forum Dick, hope you get your maintenance done OK. One thing I have seen is that over tightening of the covers can cause them to leak.

As above check out the XK sections and FAQs.
