Dealak here. Mechanic for my wife's 2000s type 4.0L jaguar v/8
Charleston, Oregon
Currently replacing valve cover gaskets, coils 'n' plugs.
I see here I have the early/plastic timing chain tensioners. Hmmm?
They seem tight and I see no cracks- the mileage is 67,000 +or - 10k.
Would I, could I, should I replace them?
Seems like a bit of a job...or, a bit of a risk.
Advice?
