Replacing Valve cover gaskets on my 2000 XJ8 and
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I had an oil leak on the drivers side valve cover that dripped on the exhaust manifold and burned with a puff of blue smoke from time to time.
This really was not a big issue, albeit a tad embarrassing so I bought a valve cover gasket set with all the o-ring seals for the bolts as well as the spark plug tubes.
It only made sense to replace the plugs at this time, which brings me to my question.
I have about 135k on a well kept Xj8 and having both cam covers off at this time, would I be advised to change timing chain tensioners as well?
And if so might someone have the cam locking tools needed to do the job they would care to sell? My Aloha from the Big Island
