What version of tensioner

Hi all.
Just bought myself a lovely 1999 XKR without history. Can anyone tell me what version these tensioners are?

Thanks.

Ford PN 2W9Z6K254BA Right Secondary metal bodied Tensioner (1 required)
Ford PN 2W9Z6K254CA Left Secondary metal bodied Tensioner (1 required)
Ford PN W500301S300 Bolt (4 required)

Here are the ford part numbers if you want to go that route for the secondaries. I have on both my 98 XJR and 00 XKR and they work great.

Hi,

It looks like you have the first REV of the Tensioner as i had on my XK8 from 1998. First replace the secondary Tensioner with the third generation like them :

When you replace them do consider doing it all. Primary and secondary tensioners and chains, plus guides, crankshaft and harmonic balancer seals too. It is all apart so you might as well do them too.
