You really should read the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) on the XK8 first page. In fact, you should spend a lot of time reading this forum about the valve train on a these cars.

You often need to pull the camshaft covers to physically inspect for the problems.

More often than not, the problem is a secondary camshaft tensioner. The least expensive place is a Ford/L-M dealer asking for parts for a Lincoln LS. The gasket set is a FelPro set--best bought @ RockAuto.com.

Unfortunately, you may have a hard time finding any mechanics in The Delta with Jaguar experience.
