We just joined the forum and own a 1999 XK8 convertible. We bought the car in October 2009 and it is wonderful. After reading about the cam chain tensioners we decided to take a look. Good thing we did. Both secondary cam chain tensioners were split the full length of the plastic casing. Also, two rails were split in two places each. Looks like we saved ourselves from a potential disaster. We are headed to Richmond tomorrow for the JCNA Annual Meeting and hope to meet some forum members in VA. Best regards, Seven and Cynthia.

 

Welcome to the forum,

Good to have you here.
It sounds like a lucky escape with those tensioners.

 

Welcome

I just put some up on JCNA AGM 2011. Hope I did it correctly.
