Default Tennessee first time Jaguar owner/mechanic

Hello my name is Jerry and I live in rural Tennessee in the States. I recently acquired a 2001 xj8 with a broke timing chain. I've been doing the labor myself as no one locally wishes to tackle the job. I have multiple schlerosis, diabetes and atrial- fib so the work is going slow. I'm having trouble getting the valve tolerences data but I'm sure it's just a matter of time. thanks!

Welcome to the forum Jerry,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I can see you've already found your way to the X308 forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the US Southern Midwest Region forum by following this link US Southern Midwest - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
