Dear Gods.
Just one question about how to select a replacement engine for a:
XJ8 X308 Daimler
make year 1998 may
VIN SAJDKAND4C-R841898
platform: NBW
engine: AJ-26 4.0L
gear box: ZF 5HP24
Are there X308 AJ-26 4.0L engines without drive chain tensioner / cylinder head crash problems?
Mileage before head crash was 220.000Km. Engine had ticking problems.
Now engine has head crash problems. Car was in a garage for 6 months.
Ticking did not vanish. Now I am the garage.
How can I find those engines? Engine serial code or how can I select?
Engines starting from which engine code...?
Owner wants to keep her alive.
Greetings.

If I understand your question correctly, you are looking for a "non interference" type 4.0 Jag engine to install in your customer's car that will not allow the valves to hit the pistons should you have problems with the cams/timing system?
I know that anything is possible if you are willing to spend the time and money.
But I think the short answer to your question is no.

Thank you guys for the replies.
So my request for a 'perfect' engine code was from the category 'wishful thinking'.
My infos were that there could be a modified factory built engine version without chain tensioner problems. So this info is wrong.
Are the metal tensioners Jaguar parts? I saw them in the US (on ebay, maybe elsewhere) only. Or rmade by a small business having some tool machines plus good ideas?
