This thread discusses the pros and cons of using the '03 Lincoln LS tensioners.

Same engine, same parts, much lower cost from a Ford/Lincoln dealer. Best price reported was in the $50 range. I paid $53/56 for the L/R tensioners.

 

Thanks people! I noted that last post, I really wanted to get started today and hit it hard but low and behold it is raining again, This weather pattern is suppose to swing in my favor soon so there will be plenty of questions for you all or things will go well. I have done many a swap in my day but never on a jaguar. I will stop back in here when I get the engine out and let you all know how it went.
