Hello,

Thanks for the forum, it has already been a whelth of information. I recently aquired a 99 XK8. The first thing I did, with the help of the forum, was replace those pesky timing chains and tensioners. As it ended up mine were the upgraded ones but since I already had the motor apart I went ahead and did it anyway. The car is running great. I spend most of my free time in the garage putsing with my old British motorcycles so this car was not a stretch, though it is a bit more complicated. Thanks again for sharing the information that is needed to keep this thing going.

Tony

Welcome, enjoy your ride , this is one of the most friendly sites on the net for sure

 

The bikes are a 72 triumph trident a 67 norton atlas and I am currently restoring a 71 bmw r50/5. I will take some pics of the car and bikes for the site. I restored the triumph about 8 years ago and it has been my daily rider, the Norton is in the middle of being restored but I put it on the back burner for the bmw, which I plan on selling when it is finished to help fund the rest of the norton restoration. Thats what I tell my wife anyway. I figure if I put a high enough price on it maybe the bmw won't sell and I'll have to keep it too.

 

Sound like a plan
