Default Greetings from Southern Md.

I think I finally found my way into this site. Very complicated. I am not that computer friendly. Got my first Jag, 97 XK8 with 45,000 mi. and I really enjoy it. Little apprehensive regarding the timing chain issue but so far no problems.

welcome to the forum Joesalta, head over to the XK8 section and hopefully they will calm those apprehensions!

Welcome to the forum,

That's low miles on a '97 but you're right to consider checking timing chains as the tensioners are a known weakness.

There's a huge amount of information here and it can be daunting to find your way around at first.

Follow this link XK8 / XKR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the XK8 section where you'll find plenty of help and advice on timing chains and much more besides.

Welcome to the forum.

Good to have you with us.

Don't know where in Maryland you are but one of our ex moderators Gus (JagRepair) would probably be able to give you some hands on advice.
