4.2 engine timing service

I came across this timing service kit while looking for cam cover gaskets.

Timing Gear Service Kit - TCK3 | Jaguar XK8 - XKR | Jaguar | British Parts UK

Does anyone know what the recomended service mileage interval is for this engine service on thye 4.2 model?

There is no service interval. If it starts making noise, check it out. Most of these will go well over 100 K mikes. If the oil changes are lax and the driving is aggressive, they may wear sooner.

I have a record of oil changes every 10k miles right up to the last one a few weeks ago, now 109k miles.

Has anyone actually done this on the 4.2 model yet?
