Does anyone know a one stop shop for all the materials needed to pull and replace all the timing set, ramps, guides, tensioners, gaskets, seals etc. seems I can find stuff piece meal but can't seem to find a timing "set" like for most other cars I've worked on in the past. Thanks

 

How about this for a complete set

That's the ticket minus the cover gasket, somehow I think the shipment charges from the UK would make it cost prohibitive. I'll look into it. Thanks!

 

I have this kit, waiting for warmer weather to do.
According the manual there is NO gasket, you use sealant.
BYW: Your biggest problem will be removing the crank bolt!!

 

Looks to be about 232 bucks US before shipping.

 

I also notice there is no spacer for the oil seal to ride on, you really don't want to reuse the old one as it'll have s groove worn in it. I'm going to piece a kit together I guess. I need the oil seal, spacer, woodruff key and guide/ramps.

 

I don't know if you care much about individual experiences or not, but I have one for you anyway: I have dealt with this supplier in the past. And unless they specify that the part is made by Jaguar (in which case it's cheaper to buy it from Jaguar's Heritage web page), 100% fitment is not guaranteed.

I bought wheel bearing kits, brake caliper rebuilt kits, engine mounts, brake lines... and NONE of them fit my car on the first try--some had to be modified slightly others were just plain garbage...

I believe that this particular supplier offers 24-48 hours to check fitment after arrival... Being me, I have never been able to fit a part on such a short notice plus the shipping cost back to the UK make it uneconomical anyway...

The do get the stuff to you within 2 days though...so that's kinda good...I guess?

 

Thanks for the info, vendor experience is always helpful especially when dealing all the way across the pond.
