Hi I'm new to jags, usually mess with v8 landrover discoverys . bought a xj6 for £100 ($200) but the engine has thrown a cam follower through side of tappet block, needs a replacement top end now. not used to oh cams. I know i need a timing tool, but is the tensioner hard to release on this engine and do I need the right tool (jd101) or will any hook do?
Looks like i may be needing this forum quite a lot in the future, looking forward to many interesting discussions.

 

1988 its very tidy for year and everything seems to work ok, it seems a shame to scrap it. lovely looking car in burgandy.
