Default Tensioner timing belt. Yes another one

Hi all

First of pardon my stupidity and ignorance. I have a 1995 xj6 vanden plas, l-6 4.0L my question is and I have done research but haven't yet find an obvious answer. So my question is does this engine also suffers from the secondary tensioner? If so where can I get a good replacement? and is there a DYI? I've seen a lot of the v8 and the supercharged engines. If this matter has been discussed, my apologies and please provide links. Thanks a lot. This is my 4th jag and have not been lucky at all, but I have a soft spot for this cars and keep coming back! this one is by far the better one.

The 6-cylinder engines don't suffer the catastrophic tensioner failures.

From time to time we hear about tensioner *noise* on the 6-cylinders but replacement is easy.

Cheers
