Default 1997 xk8 engine and tranny project
I took the engine and tranny out of my xk8, and found that I have the old plastic tensioners. Let the work begin

hey, how about a close up of those engine mounts while you have access...most haven't seen one around here. The LH side is often torn and no jelly inside.
