i need help choosing the correct timing chain tensioners for my 2000 jaguar xj8 . i am going to replace the original plastic ones for the metals ones so can somebody post a link to the ones i should get or a pic of how they should look cause i seen a few but i don't want to end up getting some really poor quality aftermarket ones but not too expensive just reasonable thanks!

I and many others used tensioners for the '01 Lincoln LS, same part but cheaper. Order 2W9Z6K254BA and 2W9Z6K254CA and four shorter bolts W500301S300? ( someone please confirm). I ordered from sunroardfordparts.com. You need felpro gasket set VS 50724 R which you can buy at Autozone, etc.
