Hi. Just purchased a 97 xke convertible with the dreaded timing chain failure. Been an auto technician for a lot of years so I see no issues having the car back together in a few weeks. Anyone here done this job before? I used my snap on borescope to determine no piston damage,just valves so off the heads go. Just looking for any pitfalls I should avoid when doing the job. Thanks to anyone who might reply. Jerermy
