Hello All!
I've been into cars, motorcycles and working for years and appreciate the knowledge and wisdom of forums like this.
Looking forward to learning lot and sharing what I find in the journey.
Looing at a 98 XK* and have learned much just lurking.

Welcome to the forums Jackleg,
The single biggest concern with the early XK8 is original plastic timing chain tensioners. Nikasil cylinders used to be a worry but any that have lasted this long without issue aren't going to give any trouble now.
If you haven't already found it, follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xk8-xkr-x100-17/ to the XK8/XKR forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues. You can also use the US Southern Midwest Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/u...rn-midwest-67/ to find other members in your region.
Please read the guidance for new members ( https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...ned-up-241802/ ) which answers many of the most frequent questions about getting started.
Enjoy the forums.
