That was close!!!
I have a early XK8 in for some acident damage repair work, noticed a bit of a noise from the righthand bank, the owner did mention he had a slight oil leak, figuring I had to sort that anyway I will take a look...
Oil leak was just a couple of loose bolts on the corner of the cam cover but the knocking..... Ooooooh dear what a mess
That is the closest I have seen before implosion!! The tensioner piston is actually seperated from the body, what is left of it, the chain has been running for quite a while on the slipper at odd angles by the grooves worn into it, so very very close.....
