Hey LEW,
I asked you four months ago what the $1000. price you posted was all about. You figure out an answer yet?
Last week, I priced up a list of timing chain components that some other guy here told me he wanted, I beat everybody's best price by $100 off the bottom line, and it still came to over $700.00 . That was a waste of my time too, he stuck me with the stuff.
So do you have mechanics down there that work for loose change, or are you just posting more of your bogus prices to bust my ***** and show everybody how sharp you are?

Jagtech,
BTW, I went back to your post commenting on having my tensioners replaced and as then I did not read a question in your statement.
The fact is that I got my parts from Coventry West in Conyers, GA. I then took them to an independent mechanic and he installed them in my car. This was the upper and lower tensioners. I am not posturing at all! What else can I say?

I've been having nightmares of orange plastic tensioners coming to get me.
I'm having both upper and lower tensioners changed out by an independant here in L.A. With all these horror stories I don't mind spending the money as a preventative messure. I'm possitive it will more than pay for itself in the long run .

I think that it's a good move! I bought my XKR 3 years ago. I had a beer with a tennis buddy who had Sedan, and we discussed the potential problem of the tensioners failing. We both agreed that it was worthwhile preventative maintenance, and decided to get them done ASAP. Long and short of it is that I went ahead and had mine done, but he never did. As you might guess, he was tooling down the road one day and out of the blue they went! He said that it was the most catastrophic, heartwrenching, crunching noise that he had ever heard! The engine was toast, and he ended up pretty much giving the car away for a few bucks. Yeah, get it done and get some peace of mind!

I think alot of people have the Primaries changed when it is unnecessary. I changed mine because I mistook a VTC noise for primary rattle. When I got the front cover off, both the chains and the tensioners were fine. No wear at all. This coincides with a lot of advice I got beforehand. That the vast majority of chain/tensioner problems are limited to the secondaries. gordo

Well done, Maja. Before rampant vehicle oversophistication (RVO) came into vogue, you had to just jam the turkey down by the exhaust manifold and watch the odometer.
I guess $103K for a new XKR wouldn't be so bad, if it enables you to drive right past the in-laws house at Thanksgiving and still be able to get a good meal.
