2000 XKR coupe

Hello,
Its been a while since I've owned another Jaguar. So I just purchased a 2000 XKR coupe with 99k miles from a auction site unseen, great body interior. I believe the tensor/timing chain failed. what would be the quickest way to confirm the problem. I have a new battery, it does not crank just a loud noise like a metal sound, then it rotated once only almost could it be the starter I wish..... Put the key in and clunk only no rotation. I have no history on the car but for $2k its worth it in parts but I would like to fix it reasonably if possible.
Any sound advise,
Thanks Bob

Not sure what you mean, I can make any cam shaft flats line up if I turn them in position. Also removed drivers side valve cover no damage to upper tensor, I can depress the tensioner by hand, don't know if that means anything. Also some of the cam lobes have rust/corrosion on them looks like the car was sitting a long time or water? Coolant was low too, I can get some slack in the primary chain if I rotate it right. Looks like I need to dig deeper.
Thanks

I would buy new ally body secondary tensioners before doing anything else, fit them --use the zip tie method and then investigate the no crank, at worst it will be $60/ 100 bucks wasted and some time.
At best it will be a good engine saved and possibly a starter motor/battery/ring gear problem.

Here is the link that we put in as a sticky when I did the secondary tensioners. There are pictures and a couple of added tricks I came up with. Have fun. This is a pretty straight forward job.

I finally pulled the starter it's good, removed all plugs found water in cylinders 2,4,6. also no compression in 2,4,6,1,7. 240lbs in #8, 140 in#5, 90 in #3#. Guess it was over heated head gasket blown? Does anyone have any suggestions on a engine replacement.
Thanks Bob
